Joe Hanson
Treaty United FC
” NSA has been a huge game changer in my athletic career. Their highly talented and intelligent staff have helped me with intense training and treatment, but also taught me so much about maintaining and improving my body on my own. The support that I’ve had from NSA has made me a stronger athlete and more effective player in my sport, but also much more injury free as well “
Gavin McKenna
Medicine Hat Tigers – Western Hockey League (WHL)
” The training program that NSA puts together for me is so professional, and helps me prepare for the long season ahead in every single way. They know my exact wants and needs for my summer training and make sure I’m put in an environment where I can achieve my goals and be 100% ready by training camp every year. On top of all that, they are great people who push me everyday and truly care about their athletes and want what’s best for them. “
Dylan Cozens
Ottawa Senators – National Hockey League (NHL)
“Training with Northern Strength Academy this summer was a turning point in my offseason. My body naturally put on more weight, and I came into the season feeling bigger, stronger, and faster than ever before. The remote training setup, using TeamBuildr, was seamless—it didn’t impact my progress at all. Whether I was at home in the Yukon or on the road, I stayed on track, thanks to the personalized hockey program and constant support from the NSA team. This summer really set the foundation for me to step into the season in the best shape of my career.”
Maddie Nicholson
Uppsala Hockey Club – Nationella Damhockeyligan (NDHL – Sweden)
“I’ve had the privilege of training at NSA for the past 4 summers, and the programs have not only helped me build overall strength and speed, but have enhanced my performance on the ice. The targeted training programs and expert guidance have been instrumental in my athletic development. What sets NSA apart is the sense of community; the moment I started, I felt welcomed and supported by the staff and fellow athletes. A special shoutout to Ben, who has played a pivotal role in my off-ice development. His expertise, dedication, and support are invaluable. NSA’s commitment to my growth as an athlete has been evident in every session, and Ben’s ability to translate off-ice programs to on-ice performance has made a huge impact in my game. I’m grateful for the strength, speed, and confidence I’ve gained at NSA, and I recommend it to anyone looking to elevate their athletic performance. “
Sophie Tremblay Morissette
NSA Athlete
” I joined NSA almost three years ago and I still look forward to every class. I feel stronger, healthier and the workouts really complement my running goals. I’m getting closer to 40 and I’ve set multiple personal bests from 1km to 10km while staying injury free since joining NSA. The team is knowledgeable, kind, patient and super welcoming. I really love it! “
Tori Vollmer
Fernie Alpine Ski Team
” I started training with Northern Strength Academy at 13 years old. They helped me develop an excellent technical base. As my alpine ski career has progressed, bringing me to different teams across the country, I am grateful for their expert coaching and facilities, that allow me to come home to train during the off season. They have helped me recover from an injury and return to snow more powerful and agile. The positive and motivating atmosphere at NSA continues to push and prepare me to ski my best. To any one pursuing athletic goals, I would highly recommend NSA “
