Barwis is proud to announce that Gold Star Hockey has selected our performance facility as the home for this year's Gold Star Hockey Combine—bringing together some of hockey's top talent for elite testing, evaluation, and performance development.
This partnership reflects a shared commitment to helping athletes maximize their potential through world-class coaching, cutting-edge technology, and science-backed performance training.
Why Gold Star Hockey Chose Barwis
Elite hockey players demand more than a traditional training environment.
Success on the ice requires explosive acceleration, powerful skating mechanics, agility, strength, endurance, mobility, and resilience. Every fraction of a second matters, and every movement has an impact on performance.
At Barwis, we've built our reputation by developing athletes through comprehensive performance systems that translate directly to competition.
Our individualized approach to hockey performance training combines strength and conditioning, speed development, movement analysis, injury prevention, recovery strategies, and sport-specific programming to prepare athletes for the next level.
Hosting the Gold Star Hockey Combine is a natural fit for an organization committed to developing elite competitors.
What Athletes Can Expect at the Gold Star Hockey Combine
The Gold Star Hockey Combine provides athletes with an opportunity to showcase their abilities while receiving professional-level performance testing and evaluation.
Participants will complete a series of assessments designed to measure critical components of hockey performance, including:
Explosive power
Linear speed and acceleration
Agility and change of direction
Strength and force production
Mobility and movement efficiency
Athletic readiness and overall performance
The data collected gives athletes valuable insight into their strengths while identifying opportunities for continued development throughout the offseason.
Elite Hockey Performance Starts Before the Season
Championship seasons are built long before opening night.
The offseason is where athletes develop the strength, speed, and movement quality that separate them from the competition.
Barwis specializes in helping hockey players improve every aspect of their athletic performance through individualized training plans tailored to each athlete's age, position, goals, and level of competition.
Whether preparing for junior hockey, college hockey, professional opportunities, or simply becoming a better player, athletes benefit from training systems designed to maximize performance while reducing injury risk.

This athlete-centered approach has helped competitors reach the highest levels of sport while continuing to produce measurable results for athletes at every stage of development.
A Shared Commitment to Excellence
We're honored that Gold Star Hockey has chosen Barwis to host this year's combine.
Together, we're creating an environment where athletes can be evaluated, challenged, and prepared to compete with confidence.
