Puckmasters Lake Bluff

Imagine…a place to take your son or daughter to get the absolute best hockey training in the world. A place that does not treat your skater like another number on the ice. A place just where you can watch your hockey enthusiast work one-on-one with their private coach in their very own rink .  Where you can relax in a parent viewing area just a few feet away from the action with a warm cup of coffee. Where you can observe your skater behind one-way glass for an absolute distraction free environment.  Imagine a video recorder rolling on the action and coaches are keeping the pace upbeat, interactive and your hockey player grinning ear to ear with sweat rolling down their face.    You are not dreaming, this is Puckmasters; this is what we do every day, year round.   The best part is, we work around your schedule to make it all fit into your busy day.

After reading this material, make sure you call us to schedule a tour of our facility and a trial session on the ice...you'll be glad you did.

1 on 1 Hockey Training Programs

Puckmasters is currently offering seven primary one-on-one membership programs: Learn to Skate, Learn to Play, Skills Plus, Competitive Travel, the Defenseman's program, SCATS program, Skills Plus Goalie, and Goalie's Competitive Travel. Each program is comprehensive in nature and focuses on developing a "complete" player, however each can be modified to address the specific needs of the individual.

Puckmasters One on One Stickhandling TrainingOur programs are designed with a clear progression which seeks to build on the skills learned from one session to the next, while keeping in mind the particular ability level of the player. Therefore the length and intensity of each session, along with the starting point and sequence of the particular skills covered, are unique to each program.

The Learn to Skate and Learn to Play Programs are designed for beginners, while the Skills Plus programs (both skater and goalie) are best suited for intermediate level players and the Competitive Travel Programs (both skater and goalie) are perfect for the elite level players. Our coaches and staff are well trained to consult with both players and parents to determine the best program for each individual.

The Skills Plus and Competitive Travel programs (both skater and goalie), and the Defenseman's programs have a total of 48 skill-specific lessons. Players can register for membership packages of 12, 24, and 48 lessons which range in duration between three and six months to one full year. The Learn to Play program is 16 lessons long and runs for four months, while the Learn to Skate program is 12 lessons and is three months long.

All training sessions are scheduled based on the member's appointment convenience. Programs are primarily taught one-on-one, but small groups may also be arranged with alternate pricing. Costs range between $45 and $75 per session, depending on the program and length of the membership term. Players can also test our programs by taking a single or "Drop-In" session at a rate of $50 for a 30-minute session and $60 for 45-minutes.

The 3-in-1 Advantage of ProSpeed™ R.S.S.

What is ProSpeed R.S.S?

ProSpeed RSS

Every Session on one of Puckmasters’ exclusive ProSpeed™ R.S.S. training rinks is three lessons in one!  You’ll improve your strength and conditioning, get at intense cardio workout and learn a specific new hockey skill!
ProSpeed™ R.S.S. is a specially designed "Resistance Skating Surface" that provides natural resistance training without the need for cumbersome, controversial leg weights or elastic tubing. Our students love it because since all hockey maneuvers can be accomplished on ProSpeed™ R.S.S., they build longer, more powerful, and explosive strides that are immediately noticed when they step back on the ice! Additionally, our students develop better fundamental skating technique because of the increased balance, edge control, and skating mechanics that come as a natural result of training on ProSpeed™ R.S.S. Parents love ProSpeed™ R.S.S. because it keeps our lessons affordable!
