Our Product

 Mens sana in corpore sano -- "A sound mind in a sound body" -- Juvenal


It is with great pleasure that we welcome you and your family to a unique opportunity presented by The Philadelphia Hockey Academy, in partnership with Commonwealth Charter Academy (CCA), Method Ice Hockey and Ice Line Quad Rinks.  


We believe our mission as parents is to develop well-rounded, confident children who will contribute positively as adults by acquiring skills that will enable them to adapt to an ever more rapidly changing world. 


We combine academic, athletic and leadership development in a dynamic environment that will provide your student-athlete with the opportunities and confidence to achieve to the best of their abilities, as students, athletes and leaders.


We believe our offering is a best of breed solution, which is becoming more necessary for student-athletes, as the traditional brick and mortar schools struggle to keep up with the demands of the times.  Children today are forced to spend half their waking hours in an environment that doesn’t do enough to stimulate the whole individual, while robbing them of the most precious commodity of all, time.


Our academic partnership with Commonwealth Charter Academy (CCA) allows us to combine a best-in-class education with best-in-class athletic and leadership training at one of the premiere facilities on the east coast. 


Your child’s experience in our program will help prepare them for the many demands they will encounter when they move on to the next level, whether that is in pursuit of playing NCAA D-1 or D-III hockey for an NCAA varsity program, ACHA hockey or choosing their own vocation.  Our model will help your children master the skill of time management, enabling them to have more time to pursue their interests, which will help them as they move on to the next stage in their lives.


We look forward to working with your student-athlete as they continue to grow into successful young men and women. The middle school and  high school years are full of excitement, opportunities and challenges. Our unique model will allow your children to grow as students, athletes and leaders and make life-long friends, while they pursue their passion


If you have any questions, would like to discuss the costs of the program, or would like to schedule a meeting to come see our facilities, please feel free to send us an email:

Goalie Coach

Michel Larocque - ML28 Hockey

 

Michel Larocque has over 20 years of coaching experience and has worked with goalies of all levels. While with the Chicago Blackhawks, he had the honor of training under legendary goaltender Vladislav Tretiak for two years. In 2001, he also worked with the San Jose Sharks’ goalie coach, Warren Strelow.


Michel has attended multiple high-level camps as both a student and instructor. He believes there are many different formulas for goalies to succeed in today’s game by learning how to play to their strengths and compete on every puck. Goalies are required to be great students of the game and must remain open-minded, as the position is always evolving.  While skill and technique are important, mental toughness cannot be stressed enough.


Michel started playing hockey at the age of 11 in Germany.  After moving back to Canada, he played for his local team, the Dieppe Voyageurs.  Michel skipped his first year of Midget hockey to play for his high school team, the Mathieu-Martin Matadors. After a successful season that saw the team fall short in the Provincial finals, he had an opportunity to play with two summer tournament teams in Boston.  It was through these teams that he started to garner interest from D1 colleges and Junior leagues. At the age of 16, Michel decided to leave the comforts of home and headed to Melfort, Saskatchewan.  After his first year in Melfort, he signed a letter of intent to attend Boston University on a full scholarship and returned to Saskatchewan for another season, with scholarship in hand.


Michel played for Boston University from 1995 to 1999 and was drafted by the San Jose Sharks in the summer of 1996 after his freshman year.  Following his graduation from Boston University, Michel was traded from the Sharks to the Chicago Blackhawks where he signed a two-year contract. He played ECHL, IHL, and AHL games during his first season with the Blackhawks club. In his second professional season, Michel played NHL and AHL games, making his NHL debut against the Philadelphia Flyers.

A Day in the Life at The Philadelphia Hockey Academy

One of the biggest benefits of the CCA is flexibility. With the demands of the Philadelphia Hockey Academy program geared so much toward both mind and body, we are well aware of the potential to overload our student-athletes.  With that in mind, and with the luxury of flexibility at CCA, we will build our schedule around the children and their needs.


The flexibility provided by CCA greatly reduces the stress on your child by allowing them to manage their own time.  This also gives them the added benefit of becoming masters in time management, which they will carry forward as they move on in life.


A typical day at The Philadelphia Hockey Academy will include the following:


  • Up to 5 hours of school work, broken up into 1 to 3 hour sessions through CCA with our on-site learning coach
  • Up to 2 hours on the ice over 2 sessions with one being self-directed and the other with an instructor
  • 1 hour at the Method gym with a trainer


Our number one priority will be your child’s well-being.  In addition to the CCA teachers keeping a close eye on your child’s academic progress, our on-site learning coach will be available should your child have any other needs.  It is expected that each family be responsible for their child’s performance at CCA. The Philadelphia Hockey Academy is only a facilitator of these activities.
