The DTHA approach
Testing only matters
when it changes the plan.
Numbers are translated into practical training, recovery and nutrition priorities the player and family can understand and use.

Performance.
Physical testing and practical performance support that connects stamina, power, mobility, recovery and nutrition to the demands of hockey.

Why performance matters
Skill needs
an engine.
A player may understand the game and execute a skill once, but performance depends on the ability to repeat quality actions, recover between efforts and stay available throughout the season.
Testing only matters
What we measure
Four systems.
One complete athlete.
The clinic connects objective testing with the daily habits that support performance and availability.
Aerobic capacity
VO₂MAX and stamina indicators that help explain sustained work and recovery between efforts.
Anaerobic power
Wingate-style power and fatigue information related to explosive repeated effort.
Mobility + readiness
Movement quality, recovery status and habits that support efficient training.
Fuel + recovery
Practical nutrition, hydration, sleep and recovery routines built around the player’s schedule.
How the clinic works
Measure it.
Understand it.
Apply it.
The goal is to establish a useful baseline and turn it into realistic actions—not to collect numbers without direction.
Understand the schedule
We review training load, games, school demands, sleep, nutrition and the family’s main concerns.
Establish the baseline
Appropriate tests and observations identify current capacity, power and readiness.
Interpret the result
The information is explained in practical language and connected to hockey demands.
Build the next step
The player receives priorities for training, recovery, fuel and future monitoring.
Built around repeatability
One good effort.
Again and again.
Performance support can help players prepare for a demanding season, understand fatigue, improve recovery habits or monitor progress across a development block.
Testing baselineCreate objective reference points for stamina, power and fatigue.
Daily performance habitsImprove hydration, nutrition, sleep, mobility and recovery consistency.
Development coordinationConnect physical priorities with on-ice training, games and the player’s broader plan.
What families can expect
Useful numbers.
Practical actions.
DTHA focuses on information the player can act on and avoids turning testing into a score without context.
Clear baselines
Results create reference points that can be monitored over time.
Age-appropriate guidance
Recommendations reflect the player’s stage, schedule and realistic responsibilities.
Connected planning
Physical support is aligned with on-ice development and competitive demands.
The DTHA standard
Measure what matters.
Build what is missing.
Repeat quality longer.
Performance is not one perfect effort. It is the player’s ability to produce, recover and produce again.
