Play for fun.

    Sparkle’s Hockey Academy began because a group of friends decided they wanted to learn to play hockey.  The whole point was for them to get together once a week and do something fun, something physical, and to figure out what the hell this hockey thing was all about anyway.

    They scouted around and found that many of the ‘professional’ schools were more intensive, further away and more expensive than they had planned for, so they asked me.  I said: “Sure I can teach you to play…” and Sparkle’s Hockey Academy for Ladies and Gents was born.

    To make a long story short – Sparkle’s aims to provide solid hockey training and theory for adults, while keeping classes fun and inexpensive. Theory and technique are taught using a combination of old-school drills and up-to-date thinking.  Interesting drills and game-time applications are the key to mastering and refining the basics of hockey – and the basics are always the primary focus: Skating, puck control and Teamwork.
