Teaching philosophy
At Joe West Hockey we believe that working in smaller groups accelerates the learning process because of more repetitions and participation in the drills. The students will be more involved while waiting times are reduced, which means more fun while learning in a positive atmosphere.
Over 30 years pro hockey experience in Canada, USA, Germany, Italy, Denmark and Austria as player and coach
Quote from Sean Skinner February 2013
"I had a chance to work with Joe West in Italy... He is passionate about teaching hockey skills including proper shooting technique. His camps are a must for young kids looking to improve their game and maximizing their skills. Don't miss out on a chance to learn from Joe."
