Since 2006, our organization has helped talented amateur hockey players develop their skill sets, hockey sense, and gain valuable exposure to higher levels of the game. During that time, we have seen hundreds of our players elevate their game and reach levels beyond youth hockey including Junior Hockey, College Hockey, and Pro Hockey. Our Team Five Hole Hockey program builds off that experience by offering youth players a unique opportunity to continue their development process in a setting that mirrors what they will experience at higher levels of the game such as in the Junior Hockey world and beyond.
