The Renegade Training Theory
We were the first Total Hockey training centre in Canada, leaving behind the traditional methods of developing hockey players for a better way.
Our method of developing highly skiled hockey players is based on high quality repetition of the basic skills. Our coaches are committed to player development, not wins and losses. When the basic skills are developed and perfected, the on ice performance of the players will follow suit, leading to long term success for each player that we work with.
Jonathan Toews, Travis Zajac, Nigel Dawes,Travis Hamonic, Derek Meech, and the WINNIPEG JETS are just a few of the professional players to go along with the grass roots minor hockey players that continue to improve with every session they do at THC Winnipeg.

2012 RENEGADE SELECTS
This spring season the Renegades Spring Hockey Program will offer to those interested, an opportunity for their player to compete in a higher level tournament with a select group of players who will be evaluated throughout our 8 week spring hockey developmental program. This will be offered at the 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003 age groups only.
The 2011 Renegades surveys indicated that many participants would like the opportunity to compete at a higher level. Our program is developmental, there are a wide range of abilities and often times the more advanced players require a greater push to improve their skills as a player.
The Renegades Selects will be all about team work, competitiveness, and skill.
The Renegades Selects will consist of 9 forwards, 6 defence, and 2 goalies at each age group.
This program will not start until the Renegades development program finishes, so there will be a total of 2 team practices, 1 off-ice THC & Focus Fitness session and then the team will play in the North American Hockey Classic Tournament in the Open Division (hosted here in Winnipeg - most games at the MTS ICEPLEX). This tournament provides a 5 game guarantee.
The 2000, 2001, 2003 Renegades Selects will be together from June 4th to June 10th and the 2002 Renegades Selects from June 11th to 17th.
Additional cost for the Selects program will be $225 + gst = $236.25
Players will be evaluated in the following manner:
- Work Ethic – players are expected to put their best effort forward in all areas of the program including Focus Fitness and Total Hockey (THC).
- Game Performance – players will be evaluated on team play, hockey IQ, effort and overall skills.
- Practice Performance – players will be evaluated throughout practice sessions and training sessions. Evaluation will be on skill development, effort and leadership abilities.
- Off-Ice Training Performance – players will be evaluated on the effort they put forth in Focus Fitness and Total Hockey sessions. Coaches conducting sessions will evaluate each player’s effort and leadership abilities.
- Leadership – Listening attentively, encouraging team mates who need extra help or a pat on the back, positive attitude on the bench, in the dressing room and on the ice.
- Teamwork – Players may have more skill than other players but have no concept of team. Players will be evaluated on their ability to play in a team environment. Individual skill is not the only factor taken into consideration in selecting this team. Players with more skill may not make the Selects team because they are not able to play within a team setting, trying to do it all by themselves. This is not how to succeed in a team game.
