    Train. Track. Repeat.

    Lifts, speed work and recovery on the days you train, shifted to your season phase. The app handles the periodization.

The difference

Most players train hard. Few train with a system.

Without a system
Shorthanded.

Shift by shift, guess by guess.

  • Guessing how hard to push each session
  • Scattered across 3-5 different apps
  • No readiness signal — train when sore
  • Skill work is an afterthought
  • Show up to camp hoping it was enough

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Everything a player or parent asks before making an account. Plan by plan, it's all on the pricing page.

What is Elite Hockey HQ?
Elite Hockey HQ is a hockey training app for players. It puts position- and season-specific off-ice programs, a live workout tracker, a daily readiness check that scales each session’s intensity and sets, skill videos, hockey nutrition and an AI coaching assistant in one place. It runs in any browser, on any device.
Is Elite Hockey HQ free?
Yes. The free plan has no time limit and needs no card: a training plan for your level and position, the workout tracker, daily readiness, nutrition targets and 5 AI coach messages a day. The Athlete Plan ($9.99 a month or $89.99 a year) adds unlimited coaching, a weekly AI review of your plan and full analytics, and a first subscription starts with a 7-day free trial.
Who is Elite Hockey HQ for?
Ice hockey players from U12 youth through high school, junior, college, pro and adult league. Programs are written separately for forwards, defense and goalies, in off-, pre-, in- and post-season blocks, with foundations programs for newer lifters. Under 16, a parent or guardian completes the sign-up.
How is it different from a generic fitness app?
Every program is written for hockey, not adapted from a gym split: single-leg strength, rotational power and shift-length conditioning, built around your position and the part of the season you are in. Each morning, a readiness check scales that day’s intensity and sets to how you slept and feel.
Do I need a gym?
No. Every session in the season programs can run without a full gym: each gym lift comes with a bodyweight swap and a home-gym swap, and each home-gym exercise with a bodyweight one, so the session still works at home or on the road.
Do I need a WHOOP or another wearable?
No. Readiness works from a morning check-in of sleep, energy and soreness that takes under a minute, plus your game schedule. Connect a WHOOP and it adds your recovery and HRV.
What does the AI coach do?
It answers questions on training, nutrition, recovery and mindset with your own data in view: your position, level and goals, today’s readiness and session, and your recent workouts. It suggests, and nothing in your plan changes unless you accept it. It is not medical advice. Free accounts get 5 messages a day; the Athlete Plan is unlimited.
Can I cancel the Athlete Plan any time?
Yes. Monthly or annual, you cancel from Settings, which opens the Stripe billing portal. There are no penalties, and your account goes back to the free plan with your training history intact.
