"I wanted to reach out to you and express my sincerest gratitude for your support of my son.  I can (and do often) say with complete certainty that moving him over to PHA was the single greatest thing I’ve done for him as a parent.

Forget about hockey for a minute (the horror, I know!!) – you all provide a loving, flexible, and customized learning experience that allows kids to be successful in their own unique way.

Please keep doing what you are doing.  My son is ready for next year.  He is an independent learner.  He knows he can get through hard things.  And he will play hockey.  Of course, he will play hockey.

I can’t thank you enough.  Truly, I don’t have the words, and even typing this email is bringing tears to my eyes.  YOU MADE A DIFFERENCE – a life-changing difference."

"We enrolled our son in PHA at the end of 6th grade. For us, education comes first, hockey second.  PHA has been a blessing in both areas!  

The CCA curriculum is organized, engaging, efficient and suits my son's learning style.  He is engaged in his education and has learned valuable time management skills that come along with the flexible schedule.

Through the workouts and on-ice coaching, he has become a stronger player, both physically and mentally.  The learning coaches and staff create a warm family environment, and the guest speakers, field trips and community service are wonderful.  We could not have asked for a better experience! Thanks, PHA!"

"Since our son joined PHA in 2021, my wife and I have been consistently impressed by the Academy’s ability to balance academic excellence with high-level athletic training. Finding a program that offered both a flexible academic schedule and elite hockey development was essential for us, and PHA delivered.

PHA is much more than a hockey academy – it’s a forward-thinking educational environment. Their adaptive approach allows students to thrive both in the classroom and on the ice, consistently exceeding expectations.

We’ve also been thrilled with the partnership between PHA and Elite Edge. Their staff challenges the athletes in a way that helps them grow, work hard, and enjoy the process, always bringing the right mix of intensity and humor.

But what truly sets PHA apart is the family atmosphere. Here, you’re never just another athlete – you’re part of a close-knit community. For any family looking for a program that develops the whole person, PHA is the place to be."

"I just wanted to take a moment to share how much of a positive impact Philadelphia Hockey Academy has had on my son over the past year. He’s grown tremendously, not just as a hockey player, but academically and socially as well.

Before coming to PHA, he was an afterthought in public school. He struggled with confidence in the classroom, and school felt like something he just had to get through. But here, that’s completely changed. 

The structure, support, and environment at PHA have helped him excel academically in ways we never expected. He’s engaged, motivated, and actually enjoys learning now because he’s in a place where he’s challenged and supported.

On the ice, playing every day and working with great coaches has taken his game to another level, far beyond what we had hoped. But just as important, he’s built strong friendships, gained confidence in himself, and truly thrived in this setting.

We’re incredibly grateful for everything PHA has done for him, and I fully support his continued enrollment. It’s the best place for him to keep developing, and I have no doubt he’ll continue to grow here."

"We are incredibly thankful for the wonderful experience my son has attending PHA.  he started as a freshman.  He was always a good student and had plenty of friends while attending public school but presented us with this opportunity in 8th grade as he had a teammate who attended PHA.

We spoke with the parents of his teammates about the school and they were so pleased with it that we made an appointment to speak with the PHA Staff. One meeting and we were convinced that this was a great place! The staff, which is now considered our son’s family goes above and beyond to create a supportive environment both academically and personally.  

My son has learned to be an independent student, yet any help or guidance is at his finger tips.  It’s very evident that the PHA family cares about the success of each student.  As for the hockey aspect - incredible!  When your child wakes up everyday and can’t wait to get to school and on the ice, LIFE IS GOOD!
