Mallards Academy is open to youth hockey players of all skill levels (must have graduated from LTP). Players will be grouped by experience and skill level to maximize competition and fun. Mallards Academy is ideal for kids who are interested in trying out for the PHC Mallards for the 2015 hockey season. This offseason program gives the Pond coaches and staff an opportunity to really get to know the kids (and their work ethic and attitude) well in advance of June tryouts. It also gives the kids and families a chance to get to know the Mallards coaches. PHC will provide a goalie specific coach at every session for the net-minders.
