Northwestern Hockey Academy

The Northwestern Hockey Academy is an extension of the programming initiatives of Northwestern Hockey Sports Camp.  The Academy programs are designed to complement a player's hockey season by offering a positive learning environment to increase skill development while the player is in regular season play with their peers. 

The Northwestern Hockey Academy offers dedicated programming that takes advantage of limited down-time, high tempo drills and innovative drill design.  All goaltenders will recieve dedicated goaltender instruction.  There are multiple levels of programming available within the Northwestern Hockey Academy as we offer programming to meet the needs of all young, developing players.

Think of the Academy as an "accelerated" academic class; the opportunity to develop to go to the next level...

                        ... for the opportunity of a hockey ``experience of a lifetime``.
