Hockey

We have had an exciting journey since our inaugural 2022-2023 season. We have seen tremendous growth in our student athletes, both on and off the ice. Through our years of growth, we have continued to focus not only on the development of good hockey players, but quality people through exceptional leadership and guidance. Our caring staff pours into each student athlete, guiding them along their journey of finding his or her value in Christ and identifying strengths and weaknesses to foster development as a person. 

At Nest Hockey Academy, we believe that the product gained in hockey and academics is determined by the quality of effort put in. We are dedicated to the purposeful development of our student-athletes. Our coaches have developed 5th-12th grade hockey curriculums that guide Nest athletes unit by unit from day one through to graduation. Each school day we focus on three developmental areas of the game: technical & tactical skills, skating development, and team play. Nest student-athletes will improve in these areas through purposeful training that teaches motor skills, retention, and practical application.

This on-ice development will be reinforced with off-ice training in the form of stickhandling, strength & conditioning training, flexibility, recovery, multi-sport games, nutrition awareness, and video analysis. The result is a daily schedule that coordinates on and off ice training to maximize athletic development.

Our student-athletes aren’t only graded in hockey & academic content areas, but also in 5 key “Character Counts” areas: Attitude, Accountability, Focus, Effort & Problem Solving. Our ultimate goal is to create well rounded student-athletes who have success on the ice, in the classroom, and outside of Nest Hockey Academy.
