Our annual Level 4 coaching conference for the Atlantic District is scheduled for May 21-22 at the Renaissance Hotel at the PPL Center in Allentown, PA.  This is our only Level 4 conference for the Atlantic District for the 2016-2017 season.  If you are required to move up and progress to Level 4 this is the event to attend.  

The Level 4 coaching conference features prominent coaches and experts from the game including John Riley -Phila. Flyers Skills Coach, Matt Herr - UPMC Lemieux High Performance Center, Ryan Walter - retired NHL and Stanley Cup Champion, Jim Hunt -NJ Hitmen Junior Program, Dr. Adam Naylor - foremost exert in Sports Psychology, Matt Cunningham - USA Hockey’s national office, Ed Gosek – SUNY Oswego. 

We strive to bring the most advance level of discussion and insight available to our game today.  And with the two day format and capped attendance, there are numerous opportunities to network with other coaches, engage in small group discussions and address the challenges affecting long-term athlete and long-term coach development.

Check-in begins on Saturday morning at 8 am and program begins at 8:30 am. Saturday hours are 8:30 am to 6 pm; Sunday hours are 8 am to 4 pm.  If ice is available at the PPL Center, an on-ice session is expected so coaches should attend with their equipment.  Further instructions and detail will be provided at a later date.  Coaches must attend the entire session in order to receive Level 4 accreditation.  Morning coffee, breaks and lunch each day is provided.
