About Coach Tony

Elite coaching, turned into a system.

I'm Coach Tony Steege. I've spent years developing competitive youth players across Southern California, and I built Coach Tony Hockey to turn that coaching into something repeatable, a structured curriculum with clear standards and visible proof, so every player improves and every parent can see it.

Your Development Roadmap

Accelerated Development FrameworkTM

A season-long curriculum that maps where a player stands today, then builds a structured plan to move them up. Progress is measured and skills are progressed across a full-spectrum skill inventory, leaving nothing up to chance.

Your Skill-Performance Engine

NHL Skills FormulaTM

I reverse-engineer NHL-level skills into straightforward, easy-to-learn progressions that your player can actually follow and execute in games across all major skill domains - technical skills, tactical skills, and team skills.

Your Development Roadmap

The Accelerated Development Framework.

Typical private lessons cram 10 to 15 skaters onto the ice with no roadmap. CTH is a repeatable loop that turns effort into measurable progress.

  • 1
    Study

    Players learn the concept first, on-demand video and curriculum, so ice time is spent executing, not explaining.

  • 2
    Practice

    Small-group sessions drill the skill with direct coaching, 4 to 6 players max.

  • 3
    Apply

    The skill gets tested under pressure, in games and camps, where habits actually show up.

  • 4
    Review

    Game and practice film get broken down with NHL comparisons, so the next fix is obvious.

  • 5
    Progress

    Written progress reports document the gains, then the loop repeats at a higher level.

Your Skills Engine

The NHL Skills Formula.

I reverse-engineer what NHL players actually do into progressions your player can learn and repeat. Every rep maps to a pro standard, so the next thing to sharpen is never a guess.

  • Technical Skills

    The primary movement skills required to play the game effectively - skating, puck control, passing & shooting.

  • Tactical Skills

    Making individual reads & decisions in combination with technical skills to create an advantage over an opponent or group of opponents.

  • Team Skills

    Playing as a unit, support, positioning, options and decisions within a coordinated system inside of game patterns.

What Parents Think

I highly recommend Coach Tony for any player looking to take their game to the next level. His passion for coaching and dedication to developing young athletes is truly exceptional!

The structure is the difference. Coach Tony holds the players accountable and the video comparisons make the feedback impossible to argue with.

FAQs

Your questions, answered.

Simple answers about who each program is for, what is included, and how to start.

Coach Tony develops competitive youth players roughly 10U through 16U. The system is built for players who want to reach higher levels, from developing skaters to travel and AAA athletes.

Most lessons cram 10 to 15 skaters onto the ice with no roadmap. CTH is a documented curriculum: an assessment, an individualized plan, weekly sessions capped at 4 to 6 players, and written progress reports so development is measurable.

Where I am standing. The Skills Accelerator is online 1:1 coaching, $299 a month, open anywhere in the world: your player films themselves, I break the film down against NHL players every week, and I build their plan personally. The Skills Lab is in person in Southern California, $399 a month: two coached lessons a week on the ice with me, a written report card every two months, and the full course library. Two programs for two situations, not two tiers. Some families take both.

Yes. The Skills Accelerator is built for exactly that: your player films themselves at their own rink, I coach them through it every week, $299 a month, open worldwide. Only the Skills Lab requires being able to reach the rinks in Southern California.

Pick your door. The Skills Accelerator trains your player online wherever you live, and the Skills Lab trains in person in Southern California. Both waitlists are open now. Every player begins with an assessment, so the plan is built around their real baseline rather than a guess.
