The Collingwood Advantage

Why Georgian Bay families keep coming back to Coach Dan's training.

Coach Dan's Philosophy

"We don't run a daycare on ice. One highly-concentrated week of our edge-work and power skating curriculum yields more mechanical improvement than a full season of generic team practices. We keep our ratios incredibly tight so every player gets the exact real-time corrections they need."

4:1 Player/Coach Ratio

Unlike crowded, oversized programs, we strive for a strict 4:1 ratio. Our ice is staffed by highly skilled leaders dedicated to providing real-time coaching, personalized feedback, and immediate mechanical corrections.

25 Hours of Elite Training

Players receive 5 hours of on-ice training daily in a fun and supportive environment. Every day culminates in high-intensity games designed specifically to showcase new and improved skills.

Players Keep Coming Back

We measure our success by the players who refuse to train anywhere else. As local parents continually tell us: "My kids only love going to Coach Dan's training."

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before securing your spot.

We focus on the Snowball Effect of player development. We don't just run players through cones; we break down and rebuild foundational mechanics. By exposing and correcting underlying flaws in balance, edges, and puck control, the game slows down, players have more fun, their confidence skyrockets, and their development gains unstoppable momentum.
Parents consistently tell us their players return to their winter teams with a noticeable difference in their skating posture, puck confidence, and willingness to take calculated risks. Because we focus heavily on pure mastery of core skills, you can expect a player who trusts their edges more, executes tighter turns under pressure, and has a much higher Hockey IQ when reading the ice.
We offer three elite programs at Central Park Arena in Collingwood. Week 1 runs from August 4th to August 7th, offering a 4-Day Half-Day Training (AM or PM) and a 4-Day Full-Day Training (up to 24 hours of ice time). Week 2 runs from August 24th to August 28th and is our Famous 5-Day Full-Day Training, featuring 25 hours of on-ice training and daily showcase games.
Our training is designed for Rep-AAA caliber players (U8-U16). However, we welcome U12+ Local League players who are ready to push their development.

*The Skating Exception: U11 and under LL players are generally not eligible, UNLESS they are highly proficient at forward and backward skating, tight turns, pivots, mohawks, and crossovers. If your child has mastered these fundamentals, they qualify! Text Coach Dan at 705-607-1299 to discuss.
We strive for a 4:1 Player-to-Coach ratio. This ensures high-frequency puck touches, zero standing in line, and personalized, real-time mechanical corrections from Coach Dan and our highly skilled leaders.
Morning check-in begins at 8:00 AM.

Because our staff must transition between groups or leave the arena, we enforce pick-up times where staff will no longer be on premise to supervise:
• Half-Day AM: 12:30 PM sharp.
• Half-Day PM & Week 1 Full-Day: 4:00 PM sharp.
• Week 2 Full-Day: 3:45 PM sharp.
No! For any training package over $450, you have the option at checkout to 'Pay Half Now' to lock in your player's spot. The remaining balance will be due closer to the training dates via Interac E-Transfer (you will receive automated email reminders).
Cancellations made 90+ days before the training start date receive a full refund. Cancellations 45-90 days prior receive a 50% refund. Cancellations under 45 days are non-refundable. All approved refunds are subject to a flat $25 admin fee. Refunds, including any Pay Half Now deposit, are based on the amount you have actually paid. For complete details, please view our Refund Policy.
