Where Growth Gets Real.

Outrival Academy is where the next generation of hockey athletes sharpen their edge—on the ice and beyond. Whether you’re an individual player, a club, or a full association, Outrival delivers hands-on coaching, advanced training, and strategic support through our national network of certified performance experts.

Built for Development. Designed for Breakthroughs.

Outrival Academy is where serious hockey development happens. Whether you’re a player chasing the next level, a coach building a stronger team, or an association ready to upgrade your entire system—this is your hub for hands-on coaching, data-powered training, and measurable progress.

Through our national network of certified instructors and performance specialists, Outrival Academy delivers elite, on-demand development to individuals, teams, and partner associations. Every training session is purpose-built—designed to sharpen skills, elevate mindset, and strengthen every aspect of the athlete.

For Players

Every athlete in the Outrival system gains access to our signature off-season combines—two per year, at no cost. These aren’t just drills. They’re real-game simulations powered by advanced tech and structured coaching. From the first skate to the final buzzer, players log baseline stats, build out their Outrival Player Profile, and track every rep, every skill, and every win.

Top performers? They earn a shot at the 2026 End-of-Summer Showcase—an invite-only event featuring scouts from NCAA, ACHA, and junior programs. This is your chance to stand out, show up, and level up.

For Coaches

We remove the guesswork and replace it with precision. Coaches can schedule in-season or postseason training directly through the platform using team-issued credits. During combines, real-time analytics, player dashboards, and development tools are integrated right into your workflow—so you can focus on what matters: helping athletes grow.

Need more than just data? Our Academy instructors can deliver in-person, high-performance sessions to elevate your team’s focus, flow, and execution.

For Parents

With Outrival Academy, you’ll never have to wonder if your player is improving—you’ll know. Our custom dashboards give you direct access to growth metrics, coach-assigned goals, and progress updates in real time. No more waiting for end-of-season feedback or vague assessments. You get a front-row seat to your child’s development, all season long.

Built for Associations

Outrival Academy is more than a product. It’s a performance ecosystem. Partner associations that subscribe to Outrival Software receive full Academy access across their teams at no extra cost. Each season, we issue credits that teams can use for live training sessions, while association staff can track participation and results across the entire program. This means aligned development, shared benchmarks, and a real path to player progression across the board.

Inside the Outrival Combine Experience

Athletes rotate through five high-performance stations, each designed to test and refine a specific pillar of elite play:

  • On-Ice Showdown – Edgework, stickhandling, decision-making, and targeted shooting drills under live-pressure conditions. Expect real-time reactions, intense pace, and feedback that sticks.
  • The Precision Zone – Fire away in the tech lab. We measure shot velocity, release time, and accuracy using NHL-grade tools, then feed that data directly into the Outrival platform for full transparency.
  • Strength & Power Circuit – Sled pushes. Sprint blocks. Plyo progressions. This is where muscle meets game speed. Build the engine that powers your shift.
  • Mobility & Movement Checkpoint – Unlock stronger skating and smoother transitions with targeted agility and flow drills. Balance, mobility, and endurance are the goals.
  • Mindset & Recovery Reset – It’s not just physical. Athletes work through guided mindset sessions, nutrition planning, and mobility protocols using the Outrival app—because championship habits start off the ice.

This Isn’t a Camp. It’s a System.

We don’t do one-size-fits-all. Every athlete trains within their cohort, grouped by age, experience, and skill level to ensure the right pace and challenge. Every session is tracked. Every coach is vetted. And every metric ties back to a player profile built to show where you are, where you’re going, and what it takes to get there.

Outrival Academy is where hockey athletes go to rise.
Let’s level up—together.
