• Honest feedback from coaches is crucial for development even when difficult to hear
• Mental toughness is often the most overlooked but important component of player development
• The journey from Notre Dame Hounds to University of Alaska Anchorage to professional hockey
• Winning championships with the Chicago Wolves after starting as an unlikely prospect
• Building Coeur d'Alene Hockey Academy with a focus on developing the right players, not just the best
• Comprehensive facilities with on-site training, academics, and development create the ideal environment
• The importance of self-motivated players who utilize available resources during free time
• Finding coaches and programs that understand your child as both a player and person

If you're considering where your player might continue their development, Coeur d'Alene Hockey Academy offers exceptional facilities, dedicated coaching staff, and a proven approach to player development in a beautiful setting with spots available for the upcoming season.
