ACADEMY

The benefits of the Academy go beyond just hockey. Lucas’ teachers have asked us why on Thursday’s he's more focused, alert and excited to be at school. When we tell them it’s because he’s already been on the ice, they can’t believe it. We can. You would think waking up at 5:30 in the morning, in the pitch black, -18 degrees outside would deter our kid, but there’s nothing Lucas would rather do than get out of bed and head to the rink. I wished there was a CHA Academy when I was growing up.

My son has participated in the Spring Hockey Program at Central Hockey Academy (CHA) for several years. The Academy is a competitive and structured program which we’ve found to greatly enhance our son’s skills and techniques. All the coaches at CHA have been professional, engaging and attentive to the players needs. The coaches strive to challenge the players and provide them with opportunities to better themselves. In 2018, the CHA coach of my son’s Spring Team has registered the team for a tournament in Los Angeles. This will be an outstanding opportunity for my son to have International exposure to hockey. The Spring Hockey Program at CHA is the best in the City. My son looks forward to the program every year.

We are so glad we found a hockey program that understands kids and how they learn. The staff are absolutely amazing. They take pride in what they teach and actually ‘correct’ kids when needed. The small group sizes and high intensity training program is exactly what my son needed. CHA also provide a great spring program and this year the kids will be headed to Los Angeles for the Carmen Starr Tinseltown Tournament Series. Our expectations with CHA were totally exceeded. Thanks CHA!!

My daughter's play rep level hockey and both attend the CHA Academy program. The program is a completely unique opportunity to help both of them work on elevating their skating, puck skills and for my older daughter, her hitting and puck protection skills. I recommend CHA and their outstanding staff to anyone interested in helping their child push past their limits and achieve their true potential!

My 3 kids have participated in the Monday Academy Program and have loved it! The program is tailored to rep players who genuinely love hockey and want to improve their game in an environment where the instructor to player ratio is very low.The instructors are amazing and know how to communicate and work with well with children – an often overlooked skill. The Academy Program was instrumental in improving my kid’s edge work and improving their confidence in stickhandling and shooting. I absolutely recommend this program to any parent that has rep-level kids that are keen and want to improve their game!
