I am attaching some information on hockey academies that are run by some very good coaches that I know. They are both residential; one in Austria and one in Minnesota.

My friend Elian Vorlicek is in charge of a new hockey academy in St. Polten, Austria. It is a beautiful place with great facilities and good coaching. It is run by the Okanagan hockey school staff.

Here is his email and contact info. They have a good homepage where interested people can get info.

Hi Tom, hope all is well and that the team is doing fine. I am starting to recruit for the 2010 , 2011 season and if you know of any 1994 or 5 born players that would be interested in the Academy here please let me know and I can send over some information for you to hand over there.

I just watched a video on you tube about the Academy in St. Polten Austria. It shows a typical day and then some practice video and a game. Jason O'Leary is the coach in the practice and game. He coached my son at the Edge School for Athletes and is a very good coach.

They are having tryouts for next year.

The Red Bulls, where I was last year also have an academy but it is for the U17 and U20 players. Local players make up their teams below that age and combine with imports later. They also allow players to come and try out. This would happen in the summer as there is no ice there now.
