Jordan Bent
Jordan grew up playing hockey in the Saint John area. Playing high levels of hockey all the way up through his minor hockey and after his last season playing with the Saint John Vitos of the NBPEIMMHL, Jordan would them move on to pay with the Cornwall Colts in the CJHL. Jordan played two full seasons in Cornwall before signing in Woodstock in 2008/2009 where he played along side Co-Founder Kyle Chagnon. Jordan finished his final year of Jr in Woodstock and would then head back to Ontario to suit up with the Brock Badgers of the OUA-CIS(U-Sports). During his second season, Jordan poped down to Mississippi and saw a start with the Mississippi Riverkings in the SPHL then heading back to finish off his 2013/2014 season with the Badgers.
While attending school, Jordan started HDT in the Summer of 2009. Being from rural New Brunswick, finding a location to train and skate during the off-season became a challenge as the closest arenas and adequate fitness facilities were all an hour or more away from home and geographically dispursed. This forced Jordan to make a decision to stay in Niagara so he could train and skate regularly in preparation for the upcoming seasons and HDT began with training sessions for local hockey players and teams. HDT quickly went from travelling with equipment to fields and arenas to renting gym space for 1 on 1 and small group sessions to becoming the strength & conditioning program for both the Men's and Women's hockey teams at Brock University while continuing to work with local junior hockey players and delivering online programs to players away for their seasons.
In 2014 Jordan went to the Ontario Hockey Academy to become the strength and conditioning coach which was an excellent opportunity to work with quality hockey players from around the globe during the season and the opportunity to return to Niagara in the summer to run summer training programs during the off-season. This is the time when the online delivery of programs took off because of the need to still deliver quality services to the athletes while we were in different locations both domestically and internationally. Since 2018 HDT has functioned primarily online providing individual performance programming and consulting for athletes and teams. While direct face-to-face interation has admittingly been reduced, technology has more than made up for that by removing the geographical barrier which has ultimately allowed HDT to extend it's reach to athletes in more than 30 countries.
