“I have played my last 2 years here and it has been great! The Academy and league we play in really prepares everyone for juniors and college by making you focus on schooling just as much hockey. I am thankful for the coaching staff for pushing me to become better and work harder on and off the ice.”
-Ed Coffey, Marisville University

“CDA Hockey Academy is providing what is missing in the Northwest US. Most AAA programs outside the East Coast / Minnesota lack the opportunity CDA Hockey Academy has in the CSSHL. So often this “Hockey Journey” can be full of hollow promises & less than honest direction. Even in it’s infancy state, CDA Hockey Academy STILL has found a way to provide an atmosphere that parents can trust, a commitment to development, safety & excellence that pushes athletes to reach for more not only from each other but also from themselves. It’s one thing to have good athletes but it’s a whole other thing to have good athletes who not only love what they do, even where they’re doing it in beautiful Coeur d’Alene, ID…but even more so…WHO they’re doing it with. Anyone whose ever played College/Professional athletics knows the grind that being a student/professional athlete is and CDA Hockey Academy provides young athletes with an opportunity to learn self discipline while exercising responsibility and community minded professionalism. CDA Hockey Academy has provided and is committed to continue to cultivating a complete Hockey Program. One that provides young men (and now young women) who have aspirations of playing College Hockey and even professional hockey the opportunity to develop, grow and chase a dream.”
“Anytime you can find a program that has these characteristics along with GREAT people, dedicated, professional and committed Coaches, staff, volunteers and community support…you have something very special indeed!”
-The Dennison’s
CDA Hockey Academy has been such a positive experience for our son Ben. The coaching staff took sincere interest in him not just as a player, but also as a person. The high expectations implemented by CDA challenged Ben to do his best in hockey skills, but also instilled maturity, responsibility and work ethic. The coaches believe in Ben and want the best for him, not just for the moment, but for his future. Ben is already excited about what next season has in-store for him.”
