My 8 year old son is currently playing tier 1 NYHL select and has been to multiple LOSA sessions. At first, I wasn’t sure my son would enjoy it…. no sticks or pucks! But after our first session, he couldn’t wait to go back! LOSA’s instructors are fantastic! Great with the kids and VERY helpful during the drills, always correcting and demonstrating. His skating has improved tremendously with their help. I have been around hockey a lot and I would definitely recommend this program.

Lights Out Skating Academy coaches provided both my sons with superior skating and edging training. In just a couple sessions, I could see a huge improvement in their skating and even in their hockey game play. In all the different training and coaching that they have been through, Lights Out Skating Academy has provided them with useful training that I haven’t seen anywhere else.

I had both my son’s attend several training sessions. LOSA provided consistently high quality sessions. The small group sized enables each trainer to focus on and ensure that each child understands the movements involved. All the highly skilled trainers are professional and invested in developing the kids skating abilities. The drills are well planned and organized. Rotation to different stations allows the kids to experience of variety of drills and meet with each of the trainers.

My son really had a great time with Lights Out Skating Academy. He always finished the sessions with a big smile and I could tell that he had worked hard on all of the various drills. All the instructors did a great job at making my son (7) comfortable on the ice by being warm and friendly. Each of the instructors would take time to personally review the proper techinques in completing the various drills. As a parent I was very comfortable that my son was enjoying the experience and that he was learning the skating fundamentals that will help him enjoy hockey in the future and be the best player that he can be.

When I set out to find a skating instructor for both boys whom play AAA I hockey I didn’t want to just leave them in the hands of and school or instructor. I wanted them to be coached by someone who cares, works well with kids and understands where their individual areas of weaknesses are. I found all of that and more in Mark and Alicia from The Lights Out Skating Academy. They took the time to evaluate each of them and worked hard during each session towards improving. They explained to my boys the reason and details behind every movement from inside to outside edges and stride. I didn’t take long to see the boys develop after each session.
