About Us


     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.

     Coach Lyons has assembled a stellar coaching team that includes three-time National Roller Hockey Champion Tyler Landers of Team USA and three-time national Roller Hockey Champion Coach Doug Landers.

“One can never stop learning from good coaching at any stage of your game,” reports Coach Lyons. “All players will benefit from our curriculum that focuses on game situation drills/skills. All our drills have a conditioning, agility, skill and battle element to it. Our drills are fun and challenging teaching kids to adapt to the ever-changing game of hockey,” he adds.

     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.

“We want kids leaving our camps confident in their abilities on and off the rink,” he declares.
