| U-18 "AAA" Hockey Program for 2008/2009 |
Kent Valley Hockey Association U-18 “AAA” Program
We are a U.S. based Midget “AAA” team specifically targeting ‘91’s and younger, thus qualifying us to compete in Elite Midget tournaments in Canada and with top showcase tournaments in the U.S.
Our program is designed to provide top level Midget-aged players from the U.S. an opportunity to compete in a development-based program with a very positive Western Hockey League (WHL) philosophy. Specifically targeted players include 16-17 year olds who are top prospects or on protected lists that need additional strength and skill development before making the jump to the Junior ranks. Players will receive:
- 4 to 5 90 minute practice sessions per week under the direction of professional coaching by Danny Lorenz and Les Grauer
- 4 off-ice sessions under the direction of Bob Hamre, former Everett Silvertips Strength and Conditioning Trainer
- Tournaments in British Columbia against top level Midget teams
- Select Showcase Tournaments in the U.S.
We plan on building our team around committed and disciplined players who have a strong desire to be the best they can be. We have all seen the emergence of top programs in California, Arizona and Texas. Our goal is to develop a program in the Pacific Northwest to rival and compete with those teams. The difference is that none of those teams offer to work with Major Junior Hockey in a development capacity as we plan to do at Kent Valley.
If you have any questions, please call Danny Lorenz at (253) 850-2400 ext. 14 or contact Danny via e-mail at danny@KentValleyIceCentre.com.
