Uncommon Road: The Outlier
To BE an NCAA/Pro Player, you must BECOME one Today
Every uncommon athlete has a unique journey. No matter where you are in that journey, the right strategy is THE #1 REASON you will reach your goals and fulfill your dream. To BE an NCAA/Pro Player you must BECOME one by training like one today, elevating your daily habits and actions to align with receiving the dream you want in your future. It requires you to become an uncommon athlete right now. It is essential to know what your dream requires of you each and every day to achieve it, which requires training and fostering the 6 essential pillars of hockey player development:
- Skill Development (on-ice & off-ice)
- Hockey IQ
- Strength & Speed Training
- Peak Performance Mindset
- Nutrition
- Advisory/Agency, Education & Guidance
JC Hockey Development (JCHD) was founded to put all 6 essential pillars of player development into one program, under one umbrella, all at one agency. To educate, encourage, and guide players and families away from wishful thinking that focusing on only 1/6 or 2/6 of the pillars of player development is enough to become an outlier that achieves their dream. It isn't enough and is unrealistic to expect a 6/6 outcome with a 2/6 commitment level.
These 6 essential pillars of development are paramount to your success. You must foster and train them appropriately to ensure a virtuous compounding effect. If you are ignoring one of the pillars of player development that your dreams require of you, we will shine a spotlight on it. You can't hide or slack off when your accountability team at JCHD is on top of every aspect of your development. However, for the rare player and parent(s) who understands these 6 essential pillars of development, the sad reality is that in the vast majority of cases the player/parent(s) are left to their own devices, hiring training for each pillar of development from independent sources. The result is that "your development team" is scattered, is not on the same page, doesn't communicate with one another, may overlap in training causing diminishing returns, and leaves you wondering if they are adding maximum value. The result - They aren't. It's impossible to maximize development when every aspect of your training is outsourced and no one centralized authority is ensuring professional intensity and quality control.
This is what separates us from the pack, and this is what will separate you from the pack.

Nice to Meet You
JC Westerlund
Hi, I'm Coach JC. When my playing career came to an abrupt end, my passion for the game seemed to fade into the dawns of time. A moment that inevitably comes for all of us who play sport. My playing career was driven by a deep love and passion for the game, which was quickly replaced with a deep hole of sadness and pain when it was all over. A lifelong passion, gone.
Fortunately, years later after several surgeries and living the mundane of everyday life, I rekindled my fire and passion for the game through coaching; developing players to achieve their dreams and goals, and to be the advisor and mentor that I wish I had during my playing days. Hockey is a beautiful sport, and since 2021 I have taken a far more active role in my passion and the game of hockey. My passion and love for the game is the driving force to accelerating players to their highest potential, and will no doubt be reflected and transferred into the athletes I work with; a passionate fire that is hard to find in a coach. I want nothing more than the athletes that I work with to transform their lives and have that phone call one day where they say, "Coach, I made it. You changed my life." I live for your success. Your success is my succuss, and I live vicariously through the athletes I work with.
"Working with Coach JC has changed my son's life. There are no words to describe how much he means to me as a mother and our family. It is a gift and a blessing to have him in our lives. We are so grateful. My son has had 20+ coaches, and there is no one like Coach JC. He is THE BEST!"
- Evan Lee
"Every goal Joshua scored he would say, 'JC taught me that.' The skills and technique are one thing, but the biggest thing you taught my son was confidence; the power of the mind. Thank You!"
- Sun Park, Mother of the 23'-24' DSTHL 18AA season #1 points leader Joshua Park.
"Owen didn't score a goal at 16AA. His confidence was shot; all time low. Training with Coach JC was the right decision!"
- Brian Webb, Father of Owen Webb who went from 0 goals at 16AA to scoring 23 goals by Christmas at 18AA.
