ABOUT IMPACT HOCKEY





IMPACT HOCKEY MISSION:

Our goal is to provide the best quality “Hockey Training & Development,” to those athletes who love the game and genuinely wish to improve their individual level of play on the ice.   Regardless of what level of play each participant is currently at, or what aspirations each holds within the game - Impact Hockey programs contain the best possible guidance, curriculum and experience that is attainable in off season hockey programs. 


HOW DO WE PROVIDE WHAT WE PROMISE?:

Impact Hockey is devoted to ensuring that each of our programs contain the following:

  1. 1. Coaches who have the ability to teach!
  • Many hockey schools & camps, including our own, employ coaches who have played and coached the game at the professional, college, junior and youth hockey levels.  However, IMPACT HOCKEY is adamant that our coaches have the ability to teach the fundamental skills & concepts of the game, to young aspiring athletes in a manner that allows for the highest possible level of retention, in a creative and enjoyable atmosphere.  
2. Cutting Edge curriculum!
  • We keep up with the latest demands, techniques and rules of the game, to ensure our programs are teaching each of our participants exactly what will put them into a position to succeed during competition
3. Fun, Creative atmosphere!
  • Our on and off ice programs at IMPACT HOCKEY Camps and Clinics are designed by creative hockey minds that target not only WHAT we're teaching, but HOW we're teaching.  We feel young athletes learn best in a fun, enjoyable atmosphere that contains the right balance of repetition and knew creative drills & techniques! 
  4. WE CARE!
  • We strive to bring out the best in each participant.  More so than not, our athletes perform their best and and have the greatest experience when they know the coaches are knowledgeable, but also care about them as individuals and truly have their best interests in mind.


WHO HAVE WE WORKED WITH?:

For the past 10 years, our coaches have worked with players at all levels of competition and in all styles of instructional settings including individual instruction, camp & clinic environments:
  • National Hockey League - Tom Kostopoulos (NHL), Darcy Verot (NHL/AHL), Ryan Cruthers (AHL/ECHL), Austin Smith (NHL/NCAA Div. I)
  • NCAA Division I & Division III - Dave Cowan (NCAA Div. I), Nathan Longpre (AHL/NCAA Div. I), Denny Urban (ECHL/NCAA Div. I), Keir Ross (NCAA Div. I), 
  • Junior A,
  • Midget AAA , and all levels of youth hockey - Mite, Squirt/Atom, Peewee, Bantam and Midget youth players. 

Each and every time we step onto the ice, we aim to:

1.  Build a relationship between our coaches and our students where an environment promoting a positive learning experience can flourish.
 
2.  Teach the "correct skill sets" in a manner that is customized to the specific student receiving the instruction.

3.  Have each student walk away, knowing exactly what they need to do to improve and how to do it. 

4.  Promote the love of the game within everyone we coach.
