National Hockey Development has assembled a fine staff of high level coaches and instructors. Our entire staff is dedicated to the proper skill development of our students. The staff will create a educational experience in a safe atmosphere. The student will benefit from the years of experience these former players and current coaches bring to the arena. Our coaches will be assisted by college and junior players. (*note: coaches listed below will be at varied camps or will appear at certain camps. Head Instructor Bernie Cassell will participate in all 2011 Camps and Clinics.)
