PLAYERS: CLICK HERE FOR YOUR CODE OF CONDUCT FORM

A warm welcome to our Veteran and Prospective Northern Edge Nationals players and families! We hope you give us the opportunity to earn your respect as the AAA organization with real goals for our players. We are continuously evolving and changing our programs with one thing in mind: the constant improvement of each one of our players.

Do you have what it takes? We do….and we hope to see you at the tryouts. (For Try Out Times Click Here)

This is the fundamental question for you; the Veteran and Prospective Northern Edge Nationals Player. We want to know if our players have what it takes to separate themselves from the rest. Do you have the will to learn? The drive to improve? The heart to compete?

For several years Northern Edge has watched other coaches design AAA programs and we generally don’t like what we see - so we decided to do it better! We have spent a year consulting parents, players and coaches at every level and we feel we have the recipe to succeed. We have hired the industry’s best coaches to write the curriculum and teach the players. We have brought on board a professional goalie coach, a strength coach and a video coach. But most of all, we are bringing a passion to make each and every individual player a better player individually.

Families can expect an affordable, professionally run AAA program with one thing in mind: granting the true AAA player the opportunity to train like he/she should. Our coaches and advisory committee comprise hockey people who have succeeded in every imaginable way: NHL players, NHL coaches, Gold Medals, Stanley Cups and College Scholarships. We know how to teach, we know how to coach and we know how to train. Most of all, it is our mandate as coaches to connect the dots for you as a hockey family…to show you how to succeed in this game and to show you what to expect at the next level of hockey. To understand some of our teaching methods, please click on this link to watch our newest four minute video which demonstrates only a small portion of our teaching methods – all designed to give each player the necessary tools to reach the next level.

Lastly, unlike most organizations, we offer a tremendous amount of on and off ice development. We are proud to offer 45 hours of collective ice instruction which includes one week at our Northern Edge Hockey Summer AAA Elite Hockey Camp. Practices are almost exclusively on Friday nights, Saturdays or Sundays. We have specific dates for goalie instruction, skills development, team concepts and off-ice strength training. Our curriculum is tough but you will be tougher as a result of your experience with us.

We demand the most out of our players: attendance at all practices/tournaments/training/teaching sessions is mandatory. Respect for the team, coaches, parents, opponents, referees and the facilities we are guests of is compulsory. Ultimately, this attitude starts at the top and will get you to the top. If you can’t handle intensity and being pushed to be your best, this isn’t the right place for you. Secondly, if you aren’t playing at the highest level in your area, the speed and skill for this specific program is not suitable to your development: we have players coming from all over America to play on these teams and the competition for roster spots will be fierce.
