Mitch Dyck Performance Centre
New for 2026, PV Elite athletes will have the opportunity to train through the Mitch Dyck Performance Centre (MDPC), powered by PV Elite. Pembina Valley’s first hockey-specific gym located in Winkler, the facility brings high-performance off-ice training directly into the PV Elite development model.
Intentional strength and conditioning, movement development, and integrated mentorship, MDPC provides a consistent, professional training experience that complements on-ice work and supports long-term growth.
PV Elite’s 2026 expansion introduces a dedicated speed and track component designed to build acceleration, power, and movement efficiency from the ground up, not conditioning laps or generic dry-land.
The goal is simple: Create faster athletes, not just harder-working ones.
To lead this layer, PV Elite has partnered with Glenn Bruce, a sprint and speed performance coach with over 40 years of experience. Glenn’s coaching is built on intentional mechanics, movement quality, and transferable athletic speed that translate to the demands of modern hockey.
He has worked with high-level athletes across the NFL, NHL, CFL, AHL, WHL, and NCAA. Including Manitoba-native Seth Jarvis of the Carolina Hurricanes, and now plans to integrate his methodology into the PV Elite Development Model

He brings a unique combination of professional expertise and firsthand experience as a former hockey player into every session, helping athletes develop the mindset, confidence, and habits required to perform at their best.
