Built in Bedford. For players who want more.
Citadel Hockey Academy was founded with a single belief: development is earned, not promised. We run a tight, intentional environment where every drill has a purpose and every player gets seen.
Based at 70 Rosno Lane in Bedford, Nova Scotia, we work with players from first-year skaters to top regional prospects. Our coaching staff combines high-performance experience with a deep love for the local game.
No fluff. No filler. Just better hockey.
Detail-First
Small adjustments compound. We coach the inches that win games.
Player-Centered
Programs adapt to the player — not the other way around.
Community-Rooted
Proudly part of the HRM hockey community since day one.
Real experience. Every session.
Our staff has played at the NHL, QMJHL, OHL, WHL, MJAHL and U Sports levels — and they bring that detail back to the ice with your kids. Featured coach: James Sheppard, 9th overall in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft.
