2012–2014 Summer Hockey Performance Program
Pure Strength Academy x Around the Net Hockey x Full Tilt Hockey
This summer, development will not be fragmented.
We’ve partnered Pure Strength Academy, Scott Howes (Around the Net Hockey), and Zack Fitzgerald (Full Tilt Hockey) to deliver one fully integrated off-season system — combining strength, speed, and high-level skill instruction under one structured plan.
​
Too often, young athletes skate frequently but neglect proper strength development. Others train in the gym without translating it to on-ice performance. The result is effort without progression.
This program eliminates that gap.
​
Over 12 weeks, athletes follow a structured progression model that develops:
-
Age-appropriate strength foundations
-
Acceleration, speed, and power
-
Durability entering key contact years
-
Professional training habits
-
Nutritional awareness and fueling education
-
Direct transfer from off-ice performance to on-ice execution
This is not a summer camp.
It is a progression-based development system designed to prepare athletes properly for next season.
Built for competitive players born 2012–2014.
Space is extremely limited.

"The culture at PSA is amazing. Every time I step in the gym it feels like home. Pure Strength has continuously helped me make the most of my off-season and prepares me to be the best I can be."

"When I started training with Pure Strength at 14 years old, my goal was to play professional hockey. I feel like this program has helped me excel on and off the ice and contributed to the opportunities I have had since."

"The first year training with Pure Strength I really noticed a difference in my speed, strength and confidence heading into the season. Each year since, I improve my performance significantly and have full trust in the Pure Strength Team to help me get ready for the season. I am really thankful for everything they have done for me."
Luke Moncada
Asiago, ICEHL
"Pure Strength Academy has been game changing for me. They designed a program that helped me improve my overall athletic ability and educated me on lifestyle habits to increase my performance.
My biggest takeaway is how crucial nutrition, sleep and work ethic are if you expect to make it to the next level. These are tips I have brought into my season and I believe they have helped me stay consistent, keep routines and work my hardest."

Josh and his staff at PSA were a huge part of preparing me for my current hockey season. My speed, agility, and conditioning vastly improved over the course of the summer because of his unique training methods. Josh always had a positive attitude and I really felt I got the most out of each phase of the program because of his one-on-one attention. He was hands on and always challenged me to push myself to achieve more. The max lifts I achieved by the end of the summer were some of my personal bests. I did not only become stronger, but my overall lifting techniques became better as Josh identified and encouraged me to work on areas where I needed improvement.

"Pure Strength Academy is professional. I have only been with Josh for a year, but noticed my development skyrocket the first summer spent with him. I got stronger, quicker, more mobile, more explosive and faster with him. These elements are what gave me an edge in the OHL and helped me take my game to new heights.
Not only was the summer hard work, but I had fun too with a great group of guys. Josh will push you to be the best player and person you can be everyday. I can't wait to spend more years training with him and his program."
