How does EliteSportIQ hockey coaching work?

EliteSportIQ connects you with elite hockey coaches for personalized 1-on-1 video analysis and mental performance sessions. Upload your game footage, book a session, and get real-time coaching from pros who played OHL, NCAA Division 1, and European professional hockey. Sessions are 60 minutes, conducted live over video, and recorded so you can rewatch every breakdown.

What ages and skill levels does EliteSportIQ support?

Players aged 10 and up at any level: house league, select, rep, AAA, Junior A, Junior B, OHL, college, and adult recreational. Our coaches tailor every session to match your current ability and goals. We serve players in the GTHL, OWHA, HEO, Alliance, OMHA, and leagues across Canada.

How much does online hockey coaching cost?

EliteSportIQ plans start at $109.99 USD/month for 1 session (Basic), $179.99 for 2 sessions (Prospect), $254.99 for 3 sessions (Pro), and $324.99 for 4 sessions (Elite). Season billing (a 7-month season pass) saves 15%. Each plan is booked as video analysis or mental performance coaching; a Combo plan covering both tracks is 1.8x the monthly rate. Every plan includes a custom player profile, advance booking, session carry-over, and video storage.

Can I cancel my EliteSportIQ subscription?

Yes. EliteSportIQ offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, and you can cancel anytime after your billing cycle. No long-term contracts required. Your session recordings and player profile remain accessible after cancellation.

What hockey skills can I improve with video analysis?

Video analysis covers power skating (edge work, crossovers, backward skating), shot technique (wrist shots, slap shots, one-timers), goaltending (butterfly, angle play, rebound control), defensive play (gap control, positioning, shot blocking), stickhandling (deking, puck protection, passing), and hockey IQ (breakouts, zone entries, power play, penalty kill).

What does hockey mental performance coaching include?

1-on-1 sessions with our pro-experienced mental performance coaching covering pre-game focus and visualization, confidence building, pressure management during playoffs and tryouts, leadership development, mindfulness and breathing techniques, goal setting, bouncing back from bad games, managing hockey anxiety, and preventing burnout.

How is online hockey coaching different from on-ice coaching?

On-ice coaching happens at full speed from one angle. Online video analysis lets your coach slow game film to frame-by-frame, annotate on screen, replay key moments, and identify patterns invisible at full speed. You get a recording of the entire session to review. Many players use EliteSportIQ alongside their regular on-ice coaching for accelerated development.

Can EliteSportIQ help my child get scouted or earn a hockey scholarship?

Many players use EliteSportIQ to prepare for OHL tryouts, Junior A camps, college showcases, and scouting combines. Our coaches know what scouts look for. Video analysis identifies specific technical gaps, while mental performance coaching builds the composure and leadership scouts value.

How do I choose the right hockey coach?

Browse our coach directory to see each coach's specialty, background, and reviews. If you want to improve skating, book with our power skating specialist. Goalies should choose our goaltending coach. Not sure? Start with our hockey IQ coach who can assess your game and recommend a path. Switch coaches any time at no cost.

Do unused coaching sessions carry over?

Yes. Unused sessions carry over for up to 2 months on all plans. If life gets busy during tournaments or exams, your sessions will be waiting. After 2 months, unused sessions expire.

Is EliteSportIQ available outside Ontario and Canada?

Yes. While EliteSportIQ is built in Ontario, all sessions are online via live video. Players anywhere in Canada (BC, Alberta, Quebec, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Maritimes), the United States, Europe, and worldwide can access our coaches.

Do I need expensive equipment to use EliteSportIQ?

No. Record game film on your phone from the stands, and join coaching sessions from any device with a camera. Many parents film games on their iPhone and upload directly. No special cameras or software required.

Can I book both video analysis and mental performance sessions?

Yes, with a Combo plan: it covers both video analysis and mental performance coaching at 1.8x the monthly rate, with one shared credit pool. Standard plans are booked as a single track, and you can change tracks or upgrade to a Combo at any time.

Is there a free trial for EliteSportIQ?

There is no free trial, but every plan is covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee: a full refund within 30 days of your first payment, provided you have completed no more than one coaching session.

How do badges and rewards work on EliteSportIQ?

Complete milestones to earn badges: 5 sessions = Bronze, 15 = Silver, 30 = Gold, 50 = Platinum, plus bonus badges for streaks, referrals, and special achievements. Reaching Platinum adds 3 bonus session credits to your account. The system keeps players motivated and builds long-term training habits.

What happens in a typical 1-on-1 hockey coaching session?

For video analysis: your coach shares their screen, walks through your game film frame-by-frame with annotations, identifies 2-3 areas to improve, shows exactly what to do differently, and assigns drills. For mental performance: a structured 1-on-1 session on your challenges with techniques and exercises to practice. Every session is recorded and saved to your profile.
