About Us
Coaches Cason Hohmann and Anthony Moccia
Forge Hockey Academy was created to help players optimize their game. It’s all about teaching kids the lessons we learned playing the game that we wished we knew at their age.
Combining our knowledge from careers playing Division I college hockey at Boston University; professional hockey in the AHL, ECHL, Slovakian, Swiss and German Leagues; and coaching in the ISL as well as several reputable academies around the country, we have created a program to address critical gaps in players development in situational awareness and skills.
Players will learn the in’s and out’s of the game through strategic drills, video review, as well as individualized feedback from coaches.
