ABOUT ELITE HOCKEY ACADEMY

Our individual skill training is designed to help players improve upon their own specific individual needs as a player. WE identify player's strengths and help them understand how this creates maximum effectiveness in a game, while minimizing weaknesses by understanding how they can be exposed in a game. Each player will have the opportunity to focus on their individual needs, so their personal growth is maintained throughout the year. We believe that our "Player Centered" approach is a key development component in our teams' on ice success.
