Reply To: Hockey Academies for Youth Players

[Tom Molloy]

I just watched a video on you tube about the Academy in St. Polten Austria. It shows a typical day and then some practice video and a game. Jason O'Leary is the coach in the practice and game. He coached my son at the Edge School for Athletes and is a very good coach.

They are having tryouts for next year.

The Red Bulls, where I was last year also have an academy but it is for the U17 and U20 players. Local players make up their teams below that age and combine with imports later. They also allow players to come and try out. This would happen in the summer as there is no ice there now.
