55 Hockey Development – Program Bio

55 Hockey Development is a high-performance hockey training program led by Ben Eager, former NHL forward and Stanley Cup Champion. Built on years of professional playing experience, the program focuses on the details that truly translate to game performance — skating, hockey IQ, competitiveness, and confidence.

​

Training goes beyond skill execution. Players are taught how and why to use their skills — reading pressure, making quicker decisions, understanding spacing, and reacting effectively in game situations. Skating and skill work are consistently tied into situational awareness and hockey sense, helping players play faster without rushing the game.

​

Sessions are intentionally kept small to maximize reps, coaching detail, and individual feedback. The environment is demanding but supportive, pushing players to think the game, move efficiently, and compete at a higher level.

​

Whether it’s power skating, skill development, or game-based training, 55 Hockey Development is built for motivated players who want to separate themselves — not just by skating faster, but by thinking the game better and carrying that confidence into real competition.
