The Colts Academy Player Development Program is designed for players 8 years of age and older. Our program will introduce your child to the game of ice hockey. Academy players go through a 12 week session offered two times a year (Fall September - December & Winter/Spring January - April). Wednesday nights, players work on skating, stickhandling, shooting, and passing as they work through different stations on the ice. Saturday's, academy players are taken through a simulated game experience where they are exposed to a hockey intelligence quotient - understanding the game, ice awareness, pattern recognition, and problem solving.
