PRO ELITE HOCKEY LLC
NAPLES, FLORIDA

     Established in 1983, Pro Elite Hockey has conducted hockey schools and clinics in the United States, Canada and Russia. Founder Joe Lyons, Sr. relocated to Naples earlier this year, bringing more than 40 years national and international hockey experience including 17 years as a scout for the NHL’s Boston Bruins.      “Training youth, high school and college students is the future of hockey,” explains Coach Lyons, who has coached and trained more than 100 professional hockey players, with 12 players signing directly to the National Hockey League (NHL) from Pro Elite Hockey camps. “If you want to compete with the best, you need to train with the best,” he believes.      Most importantly, Pro Elite Hockey camps have a 5:1 ratio of players to qualified coaches so the players get the best drills taught by the best instructors. Coach Lyons’s program places a large focus on a facet of the game that is so integral - mental conditioning/confidence. “Hockey is a game of mistakes - those who learn to rebound quickly from their mistakes will become the great hockey players,” he reasons. Lyons calls it called mental toughness. “Bad coaching, unfair team selection, lack of practice time, and hockey politics can crush spirit. We have all been there,” he notes. Since its inception in 1983 Pro Elite Hockey has been dedicated to the development of the amateur hockey player. Using camps, clinics and training to improve their skills and reach their full potential as hockey players. Under the direction of Joe Lyons and his staff we have provided some of the top hockey players in North America the chance to develop their skills. Throughout the years Pro Elite Hockey has seen dozens of its players reach the professional level. With 12 players signing NHL contracts right from our camp. With our relocation to Naples FL, we are switching our focus to Roller Hockey. Whether you are playing roller hockey or ice hockey the goals are the same, developing young athletes to reach their full potential. Teaching and training to build character and instill discipline to self-motivate.  With the improvement of ones skills their confidence and self-esteem grows as their game improves. This also leads to better performance in game conditions. Watch as your young athlete becomes one of the teams or league’s best players. The Naples Lions Roller Hockey travel team was created to give the students in our clinics game time experiences. It will not only help improve their understanding of the game and their skills but also offer them a life experience of travel and interactions in different environments.
