What families say about AHA showcases

From parents of players who attended past AHA showcases.

  • Many showcases promise a wide variety of coaches and scouts will attend and it doesn’t happen. AHA delivered with coaches from prep school to pro. Really well thought and planned event that made great use of the time and effort families were putting into attending.

    Chris Hille

    Parent of Connor Hille

  • This showcase offered the things you should look for the most in an event. Lots of exposure to all levels of organizations from NCAA D1 to AAA organizations. It had smaller teams allowing kids to be seen multiple times on the ice. First class showcase all around.

    Damon Rodkey

    Parent of Aiden Rodkey

  • The event was really well run. The whole AHA team were very accessible throughout the event and were very approachable. I thought the showcase was a really good size with enough teams and players to be competitive but not so big players got lost.

    Jason Phillips

    Parent of Alexander Phillips

  • What a great experience!! My son was not only able to interact with coaches he would have never met, but also landed on a team that would have never been considered due to distance.

    Ian Zarvos

    Parent of Ian Zarvos

  • Best showcases! Right size for it to be competitive, yet small enough for the kids to stand out. Coaches and scouts are very involved and actively communicating with the kids.

    Mario Garippo

    Parent of Gianluca Garippo

  • Thank you for the opportunity for my player to come out from the West Coast and experience the mix of skills from East Coast, other West Coast and Canadian players/coaches. Was a great experience!

    Lara Decker

    Parent of Cayden Decker
