At MKA, we are working with exceptional young people. As a coaching staff, we acknowledge that in our approach. Our team works hard to facilitate an environment that finds its foundations in open and lucid communication between the players and staff. Success occurs when everyone is on the same page. We say that luck is the crossroads of preparation, execution, and opportunity. One of the ways we prepare is by skating every day. It’s part of our commitment to providing a first-class prep program.Tim Cook

I believe that great teams are built around good players, but even more importantly, around good people. Every day is an opportunity to get better, and do things the right way. Consistently showing up to work hard and do things the right way is what separates “hockey players” from people that just play hockey.
