FAQs

Got Questions? Check Out Our FAQs for Quick Answers!

Who is the Squirley Hockey Academy for?

Youth and adult players can use the academy. Start with the assessment, choose the right track, and work through on-ice or off-ice lessons at your own pace.

Do I need a rink or special equipment?

No permanent facility is required. Many off-ice lessons use minimal equipment. On-ice lessons require access to ice and properly fitted hockey safety gear; Squirley Hockey does not currently offer equipment rentals.

Can youth and adult players both use the program?

Yes. The academy is designed for youth and adult players. Start with the assessment and choose the lessons that match your current level, goals, and access to ice or gym equipment.

How does private video coaching work?

Book a private 60-minute Zoom session for $120. Submit a game or practice clip and your goals before the call so Bret can focus the review and give you a practical development plan.

Camp content varies by event and may include skating, puck skills, game situations, off-ice development, and competitive habits. Age groups, dates, pricing, and host rinks are announced for each camp.
