Our AHA (U18) plays a nationally competitive schedule against Tier I Midget Major elite/select clubs, as well as other Prep Schools and High Schools across the country. Our U18 team competes in the Eastern Hockey Federation Selects fall league, the NEFPHL, along with the BEAST series showcase/league games, as well as an independent schedule versus top prep High School teams in the winter and a National Bound USA hockey championship opportunity.
The success of our U18 team is due in large part to our practice model which focuses on skating, playmaking, individual development, as well as team and systems play. Our style of play is fast, yet calculated and controlled; creative hockey where players are on the ice working hard daily to improve situational awareness, learning how to create time and space with the puck, and finding open ice to execute plays. The U18 team also utilizes a daily strength and conditioning program to build muscle and quickness. This allows our players the best chance of success throughout a rigorous schedule. Our 10-month program incorporates weekday ice sessions that can be anywhere from 1-3 hours, along with daily strength and conditioning courses with APT training. We also incorporate one on one, positional, and team film at least once per week.
