Book Private Ice-hockey Lessons with Coach Kiryl

Career:

As a former professional hockey player from 2000 to 2021, I have played in various leagues in Belarus, Russia, and Europe. I am a Candidate Master of Sports and have won multiple Belarusian championships. I have also participated in the Junior World Hockey Championship and was the Champion of the "Major League" in Belarus in 2012-2013 and Lithuania in 2020-2021. With over 8 years of experience, I am a professional ice hockey coach.

I help hockey players improve their game by focusing on individualized training, skill development, strength & conditioning, and injury prevention. Every athlete is different, so I create a customized approach based on their age, skill level, and goals.

🔹 Every session is tailored to the athlete’s level, whether they’re a pro, youth player, or amateur. Training focuses on developing strength, speed, agility, balance, and on-ice skills to maximize hockey performance.

1️⃣ Warm-Up & Activation (10-15 min)

✅ Dynamic stretching & mobility work

✅ Foot gymnastics & posture correction drills

✅ Balance & stability activation

✅ Hockey-specific movement prep

2️⃣ Strength & Power Development (20-30 min) (Off-Ice Training)

✅ Explosive power drills (jumps, sprints, sled pushes)

✅ Strength exercises (squats, deadlifts, upper-body power)

✅ Core & rotational strength (for shooting & checking power)

✅ Footwork & agility (ladder drills, reaction training)

3️⃣ On-Ice Skill Work (30-60 min) (If ice session is included)

✅ Skating mechanics & edge work

✅ Stickhandling & puck control

✅ Shooting & passing accuracy

✅ Small-area games & game situation drills

4️⃣ Cool Down & Recovery (10 min)

✅ Stretching & mobility work

✅ Breathing techniques & recovery focus

✅ Nutrition & hydration recommendations

🔹 For younger athletes or beginners, the focus is on fundamentals, coordination, and body control.

🔹 For advanced players, we emphasize speed, power, reaction time, and game-specific skills.

The best coach I ever had was my first coach because they pushed me to be my best both on and off the ice. They deeply understood the game and knew how to challenge me to improve my skills, endurance, and mental toughness. Their ability to break down complex plays, motivate the team, and hold us accountable made a huge impact on my development as a player. More than just a coach, they were a mentor who taught me resilience, discipline, and the importance of hard work—lessons that have stuck with me far beyond the rink
