Their program is set up to advance youth hockey players to a competitive level through on and off ice development, dedication and fun! My son is a 2010, and I just love seeing his new gained confidence after working with LAE. The group of athletes this program has acquired have become more than just teammates - they are family! I can’t say enough good things about LAE. The memories we’ve gained just being involved make AAA hockey season our favorite time of the year. If you know anyone looking to obtain team values, life skills, and master the techniques to become a better player...THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE!!

Our son has been involved in Coach Loo’s Lakes Area Training program for the past two years and always looks forward to participating. The staff is dedicated to improving each player’s individual game to help get them to the next level. The small group drills have been integral to his development and we’ve seen significant improvement on his footwork with their focus on skating skills. We highly recommend this quality program for anyone interested in improving their hockey skills.

I look up to Jon & Lucas because they are good coaches, pushing me to be better. My favorite is early morning skates. They are really fun, and we practice new skills.
