About Us

Success on the ice begins with the mind.

Headspace Hockey was created to fill a gap in hockey development—bridging the mental and physical aspects of the game. Our mission is to help young athletes thrive on, and off, the ice.

Permission to Fail

This is the foundation of our program. Athletes learn to fail in a supportive environment where we correct behaviors, not judge character, and foster camaraderie among participants.

Small Groups, Big Impact

Drill mills are boring and unhelpful. We keep our classes intentionally small to each player gets personalized attention and guidance.

Cognitively Challenging Techniques

Our trainings are cognitively faithful to the challenges of the game, which helps kids develop both mental and physical speed while keeping things engaging.

Actually Fun Development

We create truly fun environments which boosts learning retention and makes students want to come back.

Game-Like Learning

Athletes must feel like they have mastery of a skill while under pressure, otherwise the skill goes out the window in a game.

About the Coach

My daughters and me

Josh Chambers, L.P.C.

I'm a licensed therapist with OHL and NHL experience. I believe that mental fitness is drastically overlooked in athletic development.

Four games after training camp with the Detroit Red Wings, I fractured my skull. It was not my favorite day.

My body eventually healed, but it took a significant toll on my mental health, highlighting a hard truth: I was simply not prepared for the mental challenges the OHL and NHL threw my way. 

Decades later (ouch again), I'm surprised by how little has changed – the mental side of the game is largely ignored, and the training hasn't kept pace with science. That's why I founded Headspace Hockey.
