About Us

jack skille hockey academy

The Jack Skille Hockey Academy exists in order to give each individual athlete the opportunity to become a better hockey player. Our goal for this academy and all of its locations is to help young people succeed and learn what it takes to excel to the next level. To teach them the value of sport when it comes to learning powerful life skills that can be applied to any pathway to success outside of sport. Whether these individuals are preparing for upcoming tryouts at a competitive level or just starting to learn about the game at a young age, this academy exists to give each individual the opportunity to become a better hockey player, and a more driven, committed, and disciplined human.

At the end of the day, we want to have a positive impact on everyone who attends Jack Skille Hockey Academy camps, clinics, and programs. We want nothing but the greatest success for the next generation of hockey players and we are excited to serve you and your hockey community!

WHAT WE BELIEVE

  • QUALITY FIRST

    We teach the quality of movement and detail to progress athletes into more complex movements.

  • ACCOUNTABILITY

    We hold ourselves and our athletes to the highest standard. We expect athletes to show up ready to give their best effort.

  • FOUNDATIONAL

    Sports can be used as a positive tool to teach athletes foundational life values, on and off the ice.

  • BE A KID

    While we expect a lot from our athletes, kids should be kids. Winning is secondary to development.
