ABOUT THE ELITE HOCKEY PROGRAM

At the Elite Hockey Program, we want student-athletes to find a college that matches  their academic and athletic interests.   One of the most frequently asked questions in hockey are, “How do I get noticed?” “What do I have to do to get to the next level?” There is no simple answer, but players must make themselves attractive and visible to programs. The Elite Hockey Program takes a unique approach to help players and families better understand what it takes to play at the next level and how to narrow the gap between potential and performance.   CLICK HERE to fill out a recruit questionnaire and your information will be forwarded to our Hockey Operations Staff.
