Adele is back on the Hosting Hockey Blog, telling us exciting things you can look forward to seeing with Madsen Hockey Academy coming in the new year 🤩 For the past 27 years, we've seen the Madsen Hockey Academy grow in ways that makes Adele's heart so happy ❤️ She has loved seeing not only her players but coaches progress as if they are her own children 👩‍👧‍👦 We'll try not get too teary-eyed now that the time has come for Adele to love and leave us to pursue her new passion in sport psychology 🧠 We are so thankful for all Adele has done for the Academy, all the players who attend the academy, all the coaches who have learned from the best and all she has done for hockey 🏑 We wish her well for all her new adventures! ✨ Adele couldn't let the Madsen Hockey Academy go that easy, so keeping it in the family was the only choice 😏 It is also with great pleasure that we welcome Kelly and JJ Reed, our new owners 🤩 They have some great things planned for the upcoming season, so keep a look out on our page for all these things to come!
