Over the past 12 years, GT Performance Hockey has hosted pre-season camps for local players from the Eastman and Pembina Valley regions. They have been well attended every year at Morris Multiplex, expanding annually to position specific clinics, skill specific camps and additional battle camps which have been staple camps for us since 2018.
In winter months, we have now expanded our programming while working with various Minor Hockey Associations and individual teams within associations for skating camps, general skills camps, coach clinics, monthly skill development programs, body checking camps, elite level sessions with our Regional AAA teams along with other skill specific clinics. This past season 2021-22, we scaled back from in season training (still provided to CIS & St Adolphe) and focused on coaching the Eastman U17 AAA team. We have also been chosen to coach Eastman’s Directors Cup team for 2022, leading an elite group of 2008 regional players.
In the Spring, we have run extended season camps for grass roots hockey level players, working on core technical skills. In 2021 – 22, we will run elite level skill development camps for U15 – U18 AA/AAA level players who want to pursue higher levels of hockey.
In the Spring and Summer, we also offer private sessions on our Synthetic ice surface. We have the largest surface (85 feet by 100 feet) in Manitoba and it is located in Eastman. For the past 4 seasons our home base has been St Malo Arena but due to renovations will moved the surface to Landmark Arena, where it will remain for the 2022 Summer. This summer season we will offer private and semi private (small group) sessions only due to continued COVID 19 protocols.

“Great camp! My son learns a lot every time he works with Gerr and has translated to positive results on the ice. Competing for a potential job in Junior hockey is a marathon and Gerr has provided a skill set that has helped my son gain an edge on the ice when competing against Junior players.”

Over 20 years of training hockey players and providing quality instruction with U of M Development camps, Dakota, Can Lan & Keane Hockey, and now with my own company as head honcho at GT Performance Hockey. I’m Gerald Tetrault, Hockey Canada High Performance 1 Certified, I continuously seek to improve my skills and knowledge of the game, finding new and creative ways to impart knowledge on our players. My team consists of Alex Tetrault, my son and lead instructor – (Lex), Derrick Collette (DC), Max Collette (playing Jr A), Tyler Anderson (NCAA), Jason Remillard (Bottineau State University), Dan Carriere (NCAA, ECHL), Derek Heppner (Skating skills coach) along with various guest coaches – Laird Laluk (WHL, MJHL, CIS) & Melissa Smook (NCAA); we are highly skilled and excel in teaching the fundamentals of the game. We are also mentoring our former players keen on being involved in grassroots hockey, in 2021 we have welcomed Colton Magne, Payton Hooper and Cally Phillips to our talented team.
We excel in breaking down individual skills (skating, shooting, passing, stick handling, angling, defensive skills, offensive tactics, body checking, etc.) and their components.
We created the programming which has been delivered for the past 6 years in Rat River Minor Hockey Association, using innovative techniques and state of the art teaching aids. We have offer Development Specialty clinics along with GT Performance coach clinics for coaches across Eastman & Pembina Valley. We work or have worked with most associations in Eastman (IDC Minor, Grunthal Minor, Clipper Ice Sports, Lorette Minor, St Adolphe Minor, Labroquerie Minor, Macdonald Minor, Carman Minor, Red River Wild Minor Hockey Associations along with our very own RRMHA (St Malo/St Pierre) for preseason skills camps and evaluations. Body checking clinics for associations have also been very popular as Associations look to GT Performance Hockey to teach their bantam players to body check and be checked safely. Our goal is teach correct techniques across all Minor Hockey to improve our regions as a whole.
“I am a player who participated. It was very helpful in my development. I loved how Gerald taught us new drills that are more like the game is today. I liked the connection he facilitated with the players and how he pushed us to reach our goals. This was one of the best experiences I’ve had as a player.”
