"Our son has been to several
hockey schools over the last 3-4
years and by comparison the Tom
Duffey Hockey School was by far
the best."





"I brought my sons up to the Tom
Duffey hockey school in Halifax
from Virginia, USA. Both the regular
hockey school and the goaltender
specialty schools were excellent.
The kids had fun, improved in all
areas and increased their
confidence immensely. Tom runs
a superb probramme which we will
continue to travel to attend
each year."





"Very impressed with your school. The instructor to child ratio was great. Very well organized. I extend to you my congratulations on a school well done! Would recommend to others. Good job."

Pre-Christmas Hockey Schools
December 22 and 23
Halifax Forum/Civic Complex and St. Margarets Centre


This school is focused on individual skills and is a great tune-up for the second half of the season.

The sessions are high tempo with little down time. The schedule for these schools is designed to allow most players the opportunity to do more than one school (ie: power skating and puck handling or puck handling and shooting).

To maximize individual attention, every group will be limited to 23 players. This school is open to boys and girls from ages 4 – 17.
