Exclusive to TrailBlazer Hockey’s families, The Sport Performance Advisor Program offers a comprehensive, strategic support system for hockey families focused on long-term athlete development. By integrating physical, cognitive, and developmental expertise, it provides individualized resources to enhance performance, injury management, and mental readiness in competitive hockey environments.
TrailBlazer Hockey is dedicated to guiding families through the complex hockey landscape by clarifying pathways and opportunities. The Sport Performance Advisor Program complements this guidance by addressing the behind-the-scenes elements that impact an athlete’s success. This role focuses on physical health, cognitive resilience, injury prevention, confidence, and focus to equip your player for growth in high-pressure competitive settings.
With this partnership, families benefit from direct consultation on performance aspects that go beyond standard coaching & guidance — ensuring a complete and comprehensive approach to player readiness and long-term progression.
Injury management is a critical priority. The program delivers individualized consultation to your child’s specific condition, emphasizing safe injury prevention and real-world, practical return-to-play strategies rather than generic protocols. This ensures that recovery aligns with your child’s unique timeline and circumstances.
Support can be scaled up so it extends to integrating therapeutic guidance and training environment return to play seamlessly, addressing the challenging phases between rehabilitation and reaching peak performance, thereby minimizing downtime and promoting sustained health.
Understanding how the developing brain works and its role in performance is vital. This program incorporates neuroscience-based guidance to empower you to support your child’s confidence and strategies to mitigate overthinking, reduce fear of failure, and promote flow states essential for peak creativity and situational awareness on the ice.
Direct 1-1 cognitive augmentation work is also available to support your player through performance plateaus and mental fatigue, providing tools to maintain emotional balance and cognitive sharpness, which are key to competitive consistency and growth.
The program offers objective oversight on critical developmental factors including appropriate training & lifestyle loads, off-season preparation, and long-term athletic planning. This approach ensures your child can navigate growth phases carefully and take advantage of key adaptation windows.
Families receive expert interpretation of training metrics, feedback, and wearable data, which helps align all areas of development. The advisor acts as a continuous resource to keep training decisions cohesive and effective throughout your player’s journey.
This exclusivity ensures that TrailBlazers families receive timely, tailored support that complements their existing hockey participation, enabling enhanced development and wellness.
Rather than a direct training or treatment program, this advisory is a strategic overlay guiding families through every decision with a long-term perspective. The goal is to maintain your athlete’s physical readiness and cognitive sharpness throughout their career, especially in critical moments.
By offering clarity and confidence, the program helps players stay on track, overcome challenges, and continuously progress. It empowers families to understand the nuances behind training, injury, and mental performance to make informed choices.

Murray recognized when I had a lot on my mind one summer practice session and I wasn’t performing at my best. He observed that when the creativity or intensity of my efforts on the ice increased, my performance increased dramatically and helped me focus on, and only on, the task at hand. I still think of that when I find myself with a busy mind heading into a game or practice, I ask myself ‘what can I do in my warm-up that is creative or of high intensity to help me find focus and flow’? That still works for me every time.
I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Dr. Murray Heber for many years now, both as an athlete and as a practitioner & professional. Alongside the traditional needs to bring the best physical and mental self to perform and excel, Murray is also very knowledgeable about aligning these components together, where one has the chance to experience a Flow State where mind and body meet – that is when one has the opportunity for excellence. Murray brings this unique perspective to the achievement of High Performance.
Nash’s mental progressions and confidence have really allowed him to control the game and carry the puck with confidence and create offence opportunities. Working with Murray has exponentially improved his performance
In 2020 I was really worried about the compressed schedule of games and I was almost certain I would have to play injured when it counted the most. Luckily for me, I got to work with Murray and learned to move properly while still competing hard. When it came to the big day, the Stanley Cup Finals, I was able to play pain free and at my best.
