HOA is currently assembling teams for our summer program. The players are predominately from across Atlantic Canada and we travel to a Resort in the White Mountains of New England. The program challenges the players as individuals and as a team to properly prepare themselves to play in some of the premier tournaments of the summer. The teams we play can come from across the US and Canada.
HOA offers a completely different experience where players challenge themselves against teams they would otherwise never get to play against. This truly brings an International feeling for the players and an intensity and pride in their preparation and to every game. HOA offers this experience not only to AAA level players but also to AA and A. These are scouted tournaments for the older groups including Prep School, Junior A and B as well as Major Jr. and NCAA D1 and D3. Scouts in Atlantic Canada are well aware of players predominately beginning at the Bantam level. As a hockey player always look to open more doors never close any. The week is also a growing experience for many players. They quickly become totally focused on representing themselves their teammates and where they come from to the best of their abilities. It is a special week full of memories and new friends.
The teams preparation includes practices at the Resort with on ice 2 1/2 hrs a day and intense off ice training relative to their age. We provide top end hockey instruction sessions combining skill development and team preparation. Just some of this year's coaches include Ed O'Brien former Asst. Coach St John Fog Devils QMJHL, Blair Joseph Asst. Coach Cape Breton Screaming Eagles QMJHL, Shawn Evans Head Coach Truro Breacats MJAHL
