RYAN YOGANFounder · Coach · Hockey dad
For Ryan Yogan, hockey is a family experience. His son plays locally for the Falcons, and the Yogan family has helped train young players here in the Chicago area and in St. Louis. The early mornings, extra ice time, and pride in a child’s progress are personal.
With family members who reached the NHL and ECHL, Ryan has had a close-up view of high-level hockey preparation. He has watched, learned, and taken notes from the trainers and coaches around that journey. That experience shapes the care and intention behind Yogan Hockey.
A former football player and power-skating coach, Ryan brings a contact-sport background to athletic development: power, agility, cardio, and the confidence to keep your head up as the game gets faster.
THE RIGHT COACH FOR EACH PART OF THE GAMEBUILD THE ATHLETE.
BUILD THE ATHLETE.
DEVELOP THE PLAYER.
Our specialist instruction draws on players with local minor hockey, AAA, and NHL experience. We look for people who can break down advanced fundamentals and teach them to kids. Coaches and guest instructors are confirmed for each program.
02 / RYAN’S APPROACH
Head up. Strong base.
Contact-sport preparation starts with balance, awareness, and body control. Players build confidence through progressive angling, positioning, and puck-protection work matched to their age and readiness.
03 / SPECIALIST INSTRUCTION
Skilled hands. Smart plays.
Shooting, stickhandling, passing, and hockey IQ belong with specialists who know how to teach them. Clear demonstrations and individual corrections lead into decisions under pressure and small-area games.
Meet the player. Build the plan.
Readiness-based groups, purposeful fundamentals, and individual feedback. Every player should know what they’re working on and why.
Support behind the work.
Our program plan includes on-site trainers and individual care planning. Families can request a private conversation about diabetes, accessibility, or other support needs before enrollment.
A family that shows up.
We know the commitment behind every practice. Clear pickup details, useful feedback, and communication that respects your time are part of the Yogan family experience.

BEFORE YOU HIT THE ICEGOOD QUESTIONS.
GOOD QUESTIONS.
CLEAR ANSWERS.
Who is Yogan Hockey for?
Committed youth skaters who already have skating experience and want to develop toward higher levels of hockey. AAA is an ambition, not an admission requirement or a promised outcome. We’ll match players to appropriate groups after a readiness conversation.
Who teaches each part of the program?
Ryan Yogan leads power skating and athletic preparation, with an emphasis on power, agility, cardio, heads-up habits, and contact readiness. Shooting, puck handling, passing, and hockey IQ are taught by specialists selected for their ability to teach young players. Program-specific staffing and guest appearances are shared before enrollment.
Are camps open for paid registration?
We’re collecting interest for the 2027 season. Joining the list is free and does not reserve a camp spot. Confirmed dates, rink locations, pricing, and staffing will be shared before paid enrollment opens.
Can players with diabetes or additional needs participate?
We welcome a private conversation about the support your player needs. Care arrangements, staffing, and the fit of a specific program must be agreed with families before enrollment. Please do not send medical details through the interest form.
What equipment will my player need?
Plan for complete, properly fitted hockey protective equipment, skates, a stick, a water bottle, and off-ice training clothes. A program-specific packing list will be provided when sessions are finalized.
Is the player hub live athlete data?
The current hub is an interactive demonstration using fictional player data. It shows the development tracking experience we’re designing. Private athlete accounts and coach-managed assessments will be introduced separately.
