Our Hockey School Philosophy

Andrews Hockey Growth Programs have been training hockey players of all abilities since 1979 with the understanding that successful development as a hockey player is the product of complete personal growth. Through scientifically researched on-ice training programs, professionally developed off-ice training and well balanced classroom sessions on topics such as nutrition and goal-setting, we strive to stress the importance of healthy living and personal excellence.

Over 20 years of continual research, improvement and experience with hockey players from around the globe is translated into the teaching of every drill, lesson, and exercise. Our staff are hand picked; these individuals love hockey, love teaching and are dedicated to providing the best instruction and assessment as well as serving as everyday role models.

The Program has trained many athletes over the years; Tampa Bay Lightning Star Brad Richards came for 11 straight summers. Programs such as the Atlantic Hockey Showcase (top Bantam, Midget & Junior Players), Atlantic Female Prospect Camp (high end female players) and the Young Guns Program (talented Novice, Atom & Peewee players) have helped thousands of young players achieve their dreams of playing Prep School, Junior, University or Professional Hockey including many other NHLer’s such as Montreal’s Michael Ryder, Philadelphia’s Randy Jones and Edmonton’s Patrick Thoresen.

The Signature Foundational Program is one that Sidney Crosby attended for 10 years where he perfected his skating and puck skills. Also offered are High Performance Elite Training Programs, Hockey For Tots (Ages 4-6), Defensemen’s Specialty Camps as well as the increasingly popular Magic Hands Stick Handling/Art of Scoring Goals. A bonus of the school is vacationing at Canada’s Golf capital, surrounded by beautiful salt water beaches!
