Puckmasters is Marlborough, Massachusetts' first year round Hockey Training Center. Club Members are taught one-on-one with a personal coach on individual size Synthetic Ice Rinks. Club Members range from beginner to NHL, house, rep, travel, boys, girls and adults. We have a program for you! Puckmasters of Marlborough uses the system designed by our parent company, Puckmasters, a Canada-based Hockey Training Center which began in 1993.

The Backwards Shaping teaching of skills and the End Point Visualization (EPV) system are the foundation blocks in the successful Puckmasters system. Backwards shaping is a teaching procedure whereby the last step in learning sequence is taught first and mastered. Then the next to last step is taught, mastered, and then build onto the final step. Everything is focused on building into the final point. Gradually the form of the entire action takes place.

Students love this system because the step sizes are small and can easily be understood and mastered, leading to a high rate of success. Personal success combined with our coach's use of consistent positive reinforcement creates a feeling of accomplishment, self-worth and confidence. We have many testimonials that prove this method not only improves our students hockey playing abilities but also yield positive effects at school and in other areas of their lives.
