Happy we took the chance!  My son is a first year 10U, and has had great success.  We knew the jump from 8U to 10U is big and we wanted to focus the summer on building his endurance.  Our first day we were a little intimidated as everyone was older.  By the end of the first session, my son told me I didn’t need to stay anymore. He literally grew up in an hour.  The skills he learned on and off the ice in 1 week amazed me.  James didn’t water down the skills for my son and he worked his tail off to show he belonged.  We can’t wait for our fall sessions to start, and to tryout for the Bearcat Spring Elite Program!

As hockey parents, it’s difficult to know the process of junior hockey, or to get your child the exposure they need to move onto Junior and Collegiate hockey. Once we started working with the Bearcat team, that all changed. The relationships they have with coaches and scouts at all levels, is remarkable. For 3 years now, they have opened up doors, educated us on the process, and helped guide Rece into his best opportunity each season.  Bearcat is persistent with the mental toughness side of the game, proper nutritional guidance, and body management throughout the full year. The professionalism and open line of communication 24 hours a day is fantastic, it's not often you can get ahold of somebody at the late hours of the night, or early mornings before work! We are having an amazing experience, and are excited to see what the next Chapter "College" brings!"

Coach Jimmy has tremendous enthusiasm, a great dedication to purpose and a fine sense of responsibility. I would give Jimmy the highest recommendation in every regard. Your child could not be in a better program!  John Wooden said “a good coach can change a game. A great coach can change a life. Personally, my son has thrived in the Bearcat program. It has been special watching him grow and develop on and off the ice.

Bearcat was the best training I’ve seen in a while. No joke, no messing around, non-stop high intensity training, and the drills have been planed out in advance,  not thought of the day of. Awesome price too!

My sons, Christian and Johnathan excelled in the Bearcat program for 7 years. Both have now reached their college hockey goals because Jimmy and his staff taught my boys through the years to play hockey the right way.  To play responsibly. To take ownership for your own gameplay and to enjoy it.  Every training program teaches skills.  Bearcat teaches athletes of all ages how to become well rounded hockey players that coaches and teams want on their side.  This has made all the difference for my sons.

Bearcat Elite has been the optimal program for our son's development, a defining force providing growth in hockey that builds the complete player.

The Bearcat formula provides an exciting, challenging, upbeat, and fun environment- an experience that elevated our son's game in just a single spring season. Bringing the best coaches and players together from all regions immediately built an environment that strengthened our son's skills, creativity, situational awareness, and confidence to push him beyond his comfort zone to the top of his game.

We are happy to be a part of the Bearcat family and watch our son reach his peak potential!

Both our son and daughter attended Bearcat Academy and the results have exceeded expectations! The conditioning was outstanding, the key differentiator resides in how it ties directly to the unique physical needs for a specific application, such as hockey, although it can be quickly and easily modified to suit other athletic needs.

Throughout the highly organized training regimen, the players were continually updated on how the training would advance specific skills such as edge work, passing, shooting, directional changes, speed, and endurance. Our daughter is now playing D1 hockey for Lake Superior State University and our son has significantly advanced his playing skills as a first year 18u. Time is always a factor in any endeavor, and Bearcat Academy has found a formula to advance the athletes skills and abilities, in short windows of time with there training, teams, and camps. Highly recommend!
