Hockey Schools
  • Hockey Schools are filled with players from a wide age range. For example, 8-12 yr. olds on the ice 
  • Hockey Schools are filled with players from a wide skill level. For example, beginning recreational players with AAA players.
  • Hockey Schools don't involve the local team coach or club coaches.
  • Players don't always work hard for a hockey school instructor because there are no consequences.
  • Hockey Schools are so expensive becouse of the cost to fly in and accomodate additional staff.
  • Ice rental cost more for out of town renter.
  • Cost of Hockey School is usually $150-$200 more than Consulting Session
  • The local team or club gets nothing out of the hockey school.
CONSULTING
