Home Ice Advantage - Summer Training
Home Ice Advantage 2026
Our mission remains the same: provide high-quality, high-repetition skill development in a structured, positive environment that prepares players for the upcoming season.
This summer we are doubling down on what matters most — purposeful ice time with elite instruction.
All sessions will include one full hour of on-ice training led by two to three Best Shift instructors, with additional support from Eagan High School varsity players. Players will receive detailed skating instruction, puck skill development, compete-based drills, and situational concepts designed to translate directly into game performance.
New this Summer
On Mondays we will offer an optional treadmill training program with professional e-train instructors.
Spots are limited in every group to ensure quality reps and strong coach-to-player ratios.
Note: These programs are only open to players who participate in the Eagan Hockey Association during the winter season.
Summer 2026 Home Ice Advantage registration is based on the level at which you will be participating in during the 2026-2027 season.
All ice sessions are at the Eagan Civic Arena.
There are no sessions during the week of July 4th (June 29 - July 3).
Travel Team Skaters (Squirts and older)
Travel Teams will skate Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday in high-tempo development sessions built specifically for their level.
Each session is capped at 25 skaters to maximize repetitions, pace, and individual feedback. Goalies are free to attend. Maximum of 4 goalies per group. There are no goalie specific instructors.
