Founder’s Membership Terms & Acknowledgment
By completing registration and submitting payment for the Art of Hockey Founder’s Membership, you agree to the following terms.
1. Membership Overview
The Art of Hockey Founder’s Membership is designed for players and families seeking ongoing development support, video analysis, coaching guidance, and a clear plan for long-term improvement.
Membership benefits may include monthly video reviews, a monthly coach call, direct messaging support through CoachIQ, development guidance, and priority access to select Art of Hockey opportunities where applicable.
Membership is for one player only and may not be shared between siblings, teammates, or other players.
2. Billing and Payment
Founder’s Membership is offered at $249 per month and is billed monthly through Stripe. By enrolling, you authorize recurring subscription billing according to the plan selected at checkout.
Membership services begin once payment is successfully completed.
Membership credits, including video reviews, are allocated per billing cycle and reset at the start of each new billing period.
3. Cancellation
Members may cancel at any time by contacting hello@artofhockey.net prior to the next billing date.
Cancellation stops future billing but does not refund payments already made. Access to membership benefits continues through the end of the current paid billing period unless otherwise determined by Art of Hockey.
If a member cancels, Founder’s pricing is not guaranteed if they choose to rejoin later. Founder’s pricing is available only while the membership remains active and in good standing.
4. Refund Policy
Membership payments are generally non-refundable once the billing period begins.
Refunds may be issued at the sole discretion of Art of Hockey, unless otherwise required by applicable law.
5. Video Review Benefits
Founder’s Membership includes up to four video reviews per billing cycle.
One unused video review may carry over into the following billing cycle only, allowing for a maximum of five video reviews in a single cycle. Unused reviews beyond that do not continue to accumulate.
Each video review typically includes one game or up to approximately 20 minutes of relevant footage, depending on the player’s ice time and the footage submitted.
Members may submit non game footage when appropriate but should contact Art of Hockey in advance to confirm that the footage fits within the membership review structure.
6. Film Submission and Clipping
Founder’s Members may submit full game links for review and clipping, up to approximately two hours of footage per submission.
Members are encouraged to include notes, timestamps, priorities, or specific questions to help guide the review.
All submitted footage is used for private member feedback only. Art of Hockey will not publicly post, share, or use submitted film for marketing without separate permission.
Members are responsible for ensuring they have the right to share any game film, video links, or footage submitted to Art of Hockey.
7. Turnaround Time
Founder’s Members receive prioritized review compared to standard video analysis submissions. Membership does not include guaranteed rush turnaround.
Rush review may be available as a premium add on and is typically delivered within 24 to 48 hours depending on availability and receipt of usable footage.
8. Monthly Coach Strategy Call
Founder’s Membership includes one 45 minute private coach call with Coach Nick Keppler per billing cycle.
Before each monthly call, the player or family must complete a brief Game Plan Form to share recent film, priorities, questions, and updates. This helps Coach Nick Keppler prepare so the player gets the most out of every call.
Calls are scheduled in advance using the scheduling link provided in the CoachIQ member portal. Unused monthly calls do not roll over to future billing cycles.
If a member needs to reschedule a call, Art of Hockey generally requests at least 12 hours’ notice. We understand unexpected circumstances come up, and families should reach out as soon as possible. Art of Hockey will try to accommodate reasonable rescheduling requests when available.
Additional calls beyond the included monthly coach call are not automatically part of the Founder’s Membership. If a member would like to request extra calls or support sessions, they may reach out to hello@artofhockey.net to discuss options and availability.
9. Ongoing Communication & Support
All membership communication is conducted through CoachIQ direct messaging.
Founder’s Members receive ongoing support related to player development, video feedback, and membership guidance. Support is intended to provide thoughtful direction and coaching insight, not unlimited real time access, emergency response, or guaranteed immediate replies.
If a member would like to schedule a call or additional support session, they may request availability by contacting hello@artofhockey.net.
10. Priority Access
When possible, Founder’s Members may receive early notice or priority registration for select Art of Hockey camps, clinics, private lessons, and events.
Priority access does not guarantee placement, availability, roster spots, private lesson openings, or discounted pricing. Opportunities depend on location, season, age group, player fit, rink availability, and Art of Hockey’s discretion.
11. Parent/Guardian Consent for Minors
If the player is under 18, the parent or legal guardian completing registration confirms they are authorized to enroll the player and consent to Art of Hockey providing membership related services.
The parent or legal guardian also agrees that Art of Hockey may use information provided during registration and participation to deliver video analysis, coaching feedback, development guidance, scheduling support, and membership communications.
12. Player and Family Expectations
Founder’s Membership is built for players who want to be challenged, coached, and supported in their development.
Members and families are expected to communicate respectfully, act professionally, and approach the development process with a positive attitude, coachability, and a genuine drive to improve.
Art of Hockey reserves the right to suspend or cancel membership access if a player, parent, guardian, or family member engages in disrespectful, unsafe, abusive, inappropriate, or disruptive behavior.
13. No Guaranteed Results
Art of Hockey provides coaching support, video analysis, feedback, and development guidance. However, membership does not guarantee any specific outcome, including but not limited to:
team placement
roster selection
playing time
advancement to a higher level
scholarship opportunities
recruiting results
performance improvement
specific hockey outcomes
Player development depends on many factors, including effort, consistency, coachability, health, opportunity, team environment, and individual circumstances.
14. Medical, Safety, Athletic Training, and Recruiting Disclaimer
Art of Hockey provides hockey skill development and coaching guidance only. Art of Hockey and its coaches do not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, physical therapy, athletic training services, strength and conditioning prescription, nutrition planning, mental health services, or any form of professional healthcare.
Any coaching notes, training suggestions, video feedback, off ice recommendations, or development guidance provided by Art of Hockey are for general hockey skill development and educational purposes only. They are not individualized medical, rehabilitative, or therapeutic advice and should not be relied upon as such.
Families and players are responsible for determining whether any activity, drill, exercise, training recommendation, or participation opportunity is appropriate for the player’s health, fitness level, skill level, and personal circumstances. Players and families should consult appropriate medical, health, athletic training, physical therapy, or other qualified professionals before starting, changing, or stopping any exercise, training program, or rehabilitation plan.
Players should not participate in any activity or follow any training recommendation if they are injured, experiencing pain, under medical restriction, or unsure whether the activity is appropriate.
Participation in hockey, skating, training, sports activity, off ice development, camps, clinics, private lessons, and related activities carries inherent risks, including but not limited to falls, collisions, overuse injuries, equipment related injuries, contact with other players, rink or facility conditions, and other known or unknown risks. By participating in Art of Hockey activities or using Art of Hockey guidance, players and families acknowledge and voluntarily assume these inherent risks.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Art of Hockey is not responsible for injuries, losses, damages, or other issues arising from a player’s participation in hockey, skating, training, off ice activities, independent practice, implementation of coaching feedback, or use of development guidance, except where liability cannot be waived under applicable law.
Any on ice, off ice, camp, clinic, private lesson, or in person training opportunity may require a separate waiver, release, and assumption of risk agreement before participation. Completion of the Founder’s Membership registration does not replace any required facility waiver, event waiver, or participation agreement.
15. Pausing Membership
Founder’s Membership is designed for year round support and generally does not pause for vacations, schedule conflicts, season breaks, or temporary lack of film.
Art of Hockey may allow a membership pause in the event of player injury or other significant circumstances, at its discretion. Families should contact Art of Hockey as soon as possible to discuss any injury related pause request.
16. Welcome and Onboarding
After payment is completed through Stripe, Art of Hockey will send onboarding information by email within a reasonable timeframe, including instructions for accessing CoachIQ, submitting film, and using membership benefits.
17. Changes to Membership Terms
Art of Hockey may update membership terms, benefits, processes, pricing, or policies from time to time.
Founder’s pricing is intended to remain available to active Founding Members while their membership remains active and in good standing. If changes materially affect active members, Art of Hockey will make reasonable efforts to provide notice.
18.Membership Conduct, Suspension, and Termination
Art of Hockey reserves the right to suspend, limit, or discontinue a Founder’s Membership at any time if, in Art of Hockey’s judgment, a player, parent, guardian, or family member engages in conduct that is disrespectful, unsafe, inappropriate, abusive, disruptive, dishonest, or inconsistent with the values and expectations of the membership.
This may include, but is not limited to, disrespectful communication, harassment, misuse of coaching access, inappropriate behavior toward coaches or staff, failure to follow scheduling or submission guidelines, unsafe conduct, repeated missed submissions, chargebacks or payment issues, or behavior that negatively affects the membership experience.
Founder’s Membership is built for players and families who approach development with respect, coachability, communication, and a genuine desire to improve. Art of Hockey may discontinue a membership if we determine that the membership is no longer the right fit for the player, family, or business.
If Art of Hockey discontinues a membership, future billing will be canceled. Any refund or partial refund will be handled at Art of Hockey’s discretion, unless otherwise required by law.
