IHA FLORIDA
HIGHLIGHTS OF THIS HOCKEY SEASON
It’s an exciting time to be a U16 or U18 AAA hockey player in Florida;
specifically, if you’re one of the fortunate few that call IHA Florida home.
After 15 years of Canadian operations, International Hockey Academy
is opening a second location at the Clearwater Ice Arena. No longer
will families need to send their talented, aspiring hockey players north in
search of prep schools or academies when the opportunity is right here for
the taking.
Here are just a few of the highlights that only IHA Florida players
will experience this year:
PRIVATE EDUCATION
Onsite classrooms with teachers at CIA. These student-athletes will
benefit from school schedules that work around the hockey schedule
and vice-versa. Students won’t miss a class while traveling to
tournaments and games.
DAILY HOCKEY TRAINING
Skill, skill, skill and team training; that’s the focus of
IHA Florida hockey development. Each day, players
work with pros to improve skating, stickhandling,
shooting and so much more!
DAILY OFF-ICE CONDITIONING
Maintaining peak performance requires
constant strength and flexibility training to
improve conditioning and stamina
and to ward off injuries. Off-ice
work brings on-ice rewards.
NHL LEVEL COACHING
Former NHL player Adam Bennett and staff will guide players from personal
experience of playing at the highest levels. Learn what it REALLY takes to
make it from stories of those who’ve been there.
SPORTS PSYCHOLOGY
Being physically fit is only a small part of performing at one’s best. The true
greats are masters of psychology. Players will learn the mindset to thriving
under pressure when others crumble.
NUTRITION EXPERTS
Fueling the body (and mind) correctly is the key to consistent, daily highperformance.
IHA students will learn how to properly prepare, order and
time nutritious meals at home or on the road.
INTERNATIONAL TEAM MEMBERS
Not only is IHA Florida an academy that draws local talent but it also
attracts players from around the world. Rosters will see players from the
U.S., Canada & Europe playing alongside one another.
INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL
The U16 AAA team is scheduled to start the season as part of an
international gathering in Berlin, Germany; however, both the U16 &
U18 AAA teams will play games north of the border when they travel to
Canada for tournaments.
SHOWCASE TOURNAMENTS
With IHA Florida being a part of the NAPHL, the players will be highlighted
in front of observing university and college coaches and recruiters
through various showcase tournaments around North America.
MEMORIES TO LAST A LIFETIME
At the conclusion of the year, players will leave with memories
to last a lifetime. It is truly an exceptional experience to be a
part of IHA Florida. The best part being? It’ll all start
again next fall.
