Hard Work Beats Talent when Talent Doesn’t Work

Compete Hockey Academy is offering four ‘AAA’ hockey teams for the Spring 2013 Tournament season and are currently seeking the best players from Washington, Idaho, and Canada.  Tryouts are open to ALL players interested in playing for our program.

Our teams will play against the top players/teams within their respective age group from both Canada and the United States.  As a result of the extraordinary competition level at these tournaments, we are particularly interested in evaluating players with Rep level playing experience, ie. ‘AAA’, ‘AA’, ‘A’, or ‘B”.

Our goal is to prepare players to play at the ‘AAA’ level by teaching team concepts, individual skill development, such as power skating and stickhandling, as well as instilling the importance of Work Ethic and Discipline.

  • Players must make a commitment to attend all practices, and tournaments.  *We will permit the absence of one practice-weekend should a conflict arise, however, we do not offer a pro-rated fee.
  • Positive attitude, work ethic, team play, coach-ability and desire.
  • Skill – Ready to play’ AAA’ caliber hockey on the day of tryouts.
