Train. Endure. Dominate.
Off-ice strength, speed and conditioning for athletes looking to take their game to the next level.
Based in Vancouver, Canada
Our athletes play here
The players we've trained go on to compete in the BCHL, WHL, NCAA, U SPORTS, the KHL and the NHL. This is who we build.
SISU is a Finnish concept meaning to have heart and grit. The kind of endurance that shows up in the third period when everyone else is fading. The edge is what you build in the months nobody's watching: stronger, faster, harder to play against. That work happens here, off the ice, rep after rep.

What We Offer
Every coach on the floor has competed and coached at a high level. They watch your reps, fix what needs fixing, and push you when you'd rather coast. No autopilot, no off-the-shelf programs.
Co-Founder & Lead Strength & Conditioning Coach
Kai leads strength and conditioning at SISU Edge. With over two decades of experience developing athletes, with a background as a Master of Uechi-Ryu karate. He's built his reputation training athletes from age 10 all the way to the NHL, including Mathew Barzal, Dante Fabbro and Ty Ronning. At SISU, he develops power, speed and durability off the ice. Our sessions are intense on purpose.
Co-Founder & Mental Performance Coach
Paris brings a wealth of experience as a former professional hockey goaltender at the international level, including representing Team Canada and the Chinese Men's National Team at the 2022 Winter Olympics and multiple World Championships. He's also a Certified Performance Mindset Coach with 4+ years of experience, currently furthering his education in exercise science and athletic biomechanics (National Academy of Sports Medicine) and pursuing accreditation in performance psychology through the University of British Columbia — making him a key asset for athletes' physical and mental development.
“I've trained with Kai since my minor hockey days. The off-ice work here is a big reason I was ready to compete on the Olympic stage. The standard never drops.”
