Woodridge, IL - The Chicago Mission Tier One Hockey Program today announced they have partnered with Velocity Sports Performance to coordinate an off-ice training program for the entire season.  The curriculum based program will expose all the Chicago Mission AAA players to the latest techniques for developing flexibility, speed, strength and power. 

 

"The Chicago Mission is excited to partner with Velocity," said Hockey Director Anders Sorensen.   "Our state-of-the-art training facility was designed to meet the needs of our elite hockey players.  It is our belief that Velocity has a world-class coaching staff that will lead our players through a professional program designed to improve speed, power and agility.  They will assist in the ongoing development of our program and assist in improving the athleticism of every single player.”

 

“Velocity Sports Performance is very appreciative and excited for the opportunity to work with the Chicago Mission AAA Elite Hockey Players,” said Velocity Owner Jerry Foster. “Velocity is proud to have been chosen as the Chicago Mission Team Training Program and we look forward to developing, informing and servicing the needs of all the players.  We are confident that our off-ice training program will make every Mission player faster, stronger, and more explosive.”

 

Beginning the week of August 18^th, Velocity Sports Performance will measure the Mission player’s stats in speed, strength, agility and will conduct an opening night seminar for parents.   As the season progresses the players will be able to see tangible results and measure their progress and improvement through regular testing.  The entire off ice program is scientifically designed to improve speed, power and agility - the three pillars of athleticism.

 

The Chicago Mission AAA Hockey program is regarded as one of the top clubs in North America and the premier path for developing elite hockey players.  This past season the Mission won seven state championships and placed 8 of their 10 teams in the state final.  In addition, the Under 19 Girls teams won the USA Hockey National Title and the Boys Bantam Major team finished as runner up.  For more information on the Chicago Mission and its member teams, visit us on the web at www.chicagomission.com.
