Why should I choose Northern Edge?
Northern
Edge Elite Hockey is the premier hockey school in the industry.
We have the lowest instructor to student ratio, and our
attention to the smallest detail ensures that the player
not only learns the most, but also has a great time. We
offer specialized instruction and with a professional staff,
the player is guaranteed to become the best he or she can
be.

We
want to send our child out of state. Is there any reason
we should attend Northern Edge instead?
Why
send your child out of town when you can have the best experience
for your child at home. Out of town camps cost exorbitant
amounts of money, and there is no way of monitoring your
child's progress. NEEHS brings the most intense training
in a fun environment to your home rink: you can watch the
training and see the personal interaction between our instructors
and your child first hand.

What
is the difference between the Intense Travel Week and the
Skills Development Camp?
The
fundamentals of these two programs are essentially the same.
While the travel week offers more ice time, we recommend
any player not playing at the elite level to attend our
skills development camp. The drills are similar and the
competition may be harder at the travel week, but many players
(up to and including house select players) would benefit
more from the Skills Development Camp. The travel week was
designed to encourage high level players to continue to
train at the elite level; more is demanded from these players
and the competition is high!

Is
there skill training for girls?
Yes,
many of Northern Edge students are girls.
Currently, we offer a Girls Only program in the Minnesota area which has been a sell-out for the last 2 years. However, we have a large attendance of girls in many of the other programs we run across the country.

Is
there any training for goalies?
NEEHS
offers individual goalie instruction. As well, we only take
four goalies per class.
This is a tremendous opportunity for any goalie to work on his/her game in a highly organized structured shooting environment. For half price, this is significant value for your money.

is a 50% discount on the registration fee for the first

specific jersey.

What
is the Goal Scoring Clinic all about?
The goal scoring program incorporates the learning of all skills necessary to score goals. Players are taught that goal scoring requires diligence, work ethic and practicing seemingly small details. This is not just a shooting program (but seemingly a million pucks get shot): instead, players learn how to create their own scoring chances.
While there are a few natural goal scorers, players are shown through on-ice drills and extensive video that most goals are scored by getting the puck to the net and driving the cage with a purpose. The instructors will put the players in uncomfortable situations and challenge them to get scoring chances.
It is no wonder that this the most popular Northern Edge Program!
