A structured day that builds serious student-athletes.

Every part of the day is designed to move players forward — on the ice, in the classroom, in the gym, and in the habits that shape their future.

Morning – On-Ice Training

Elite sessions focus on skating, puck control, small-area games, and hockey IQ development.

Mid-Morning – Strength & Performance

Hockey-specific off-ice training develops power, speed, mobility, and injury prevention.

Video, Mentorship & Leadership

Players study film, engage with mentors, and strengthen leadership and life-prep habits.

Academic Focus

Daily support from three in-person teachers helps players stay accountable, college-ready, and on track for a Brighton High School diploma.

Players leave NLPD not only stronger on the ice — but smarter, faster, more disciplined, and more confident in who they are becoming.

A pathway built with guidance, credibility, and long-term commitment.

We are committed to helping players reach the next level on and off the ice. Our staff includes board directors, doctors, professional hockey alumni, and player development specialists who guide athletes and families through every step of the junior, NCAA, and post-hockey pathway.
