Up My Hockey Academy, is an innovative in-season program that perfectly complements your team training. We offer a unique blend of fun and skill development, designed to nurture the athlete and the individual.

Becoming a great player is about more than just time on the ice. Our program’s philosophy emphasizes holistic hockey development by exposing your child to a variety of physical and mental challenges. This approach grows depth of knowledge around core concepts like scoring and defending and also builds on the mental skills required to thrive in all environments.

With a foundation of mindset training, hockey development and a multifaceted sports education, your child will not only advance in hockey but also gain resilience, reduce injury risk, and grow in confidence and competitive spirit.

Each session includes 90 minutes of targeted hockey instruction – 30 minutes each of skills, drills, and games by lead instructor Jason Podollan. But the learning doesn’t stop there. We integrate multi-sport cross-training with specialized guest instructors to enhance overall athletic ability, coordination, and fitness.

The diverse age group is excellent for social development and something that is lacking in today’s school envirornment. Exposure to older and/or younger players and skill levels is a valuable experience.

Parents find that the midweek mini-break from school actually results in improved academics and focus.

The UMH Academy is a self governed entity and is not affliated with the school system. Participation is the parent’s choice and must be discussed the player’s teacher. We have found zero resistance to the program since it’s inception in 2020, with teachers often promoting participation.

The Academy rotates through four 6-session segments through the hockey season, each packed with diverse programming activities. This structure keeps the experience fresh, engaging and fun – continually challenging your child in new and exciting ways.

For just $95 plus tax per day, your child can develop their skills, their hockey IQ, their level of compete and their fitness level. Up their advantage this season.
