"My son Mike is a goaltender. And even though AHS does not offer any goaltender specific training, Mike has benefited greatly from the strength and endurance programs that AHS offers. He has attended several of the powerskating clinics.
Mike was one of the Goaltenders for Team Philadelphia Majors in 2008. That was a great experience for him. He placed in the top ten goaltenders at the showcase. He also attended the AHS boarding camp at Bridgton Maine that summer as well. Mike described it as one of the most intense camps he has ever attended. These experiences helped him to transition successfully from Junior hockey into College hockey. This year Mike will be representing his college team at the All Star game for his division. Not bad for a freshman. Thanks for everything Charlie." - Kathleen A. Lipinski, PA |

"Charlie Pens has been the most positive influence that our child has had during his entire hockey career. Charlie is an innovative, skilled, and energetic coach who knew exactly how to instruct and motivate our son to become a much better and confident hockey player. Charlie truly cares about our son as a person and skater, took the time to analyze his strengths and weaknesses, and provided expert coaching and advice that significantly improved our son's skills. Our son called Charlie "the best coach that I have ever had"- he is 17 years old and has been playing travel hockey since he was eight years old! Charlie is equally skilled as a Prep School consultant. We signed up for Charlie's-AHS Prep School consulting service and it was the best investment in our son's education to date. Charlie made the entire process of identifying and selecting a Prep School for our son extremely easy. Charlie used his vast network of Prep School contacts and knowledge of the Prep School system to find the perfect academic/hockey Prep School match for our son. Our son started at his new Prep School this fall and is having a great time!" Charlie is a great hockey instructor, coach, and, equally as important, a very honest, person with a great deal of character and integrity. Thanks much for all of your help Charlie!!!"

"Charlie Pens, where to start!! Charlie has been an incredibly positive influence on my 15 year old son, Jake. Jake made the Unionville varsity hockey team as a ninth grader, which was very exciting. Jake was a bit anxious about playing on a new team with new players, especially being his first year attending Unionville High School. Over the winter months, Charlie worked with Jake off ice on a one time a week basis. It was wonderful to see the enthusiasm Jake had when it was time to train with Charlie. Charlie not only helped Jake build his confidence on and off the ice but he also developed a strong bond with Jake. We saw a big difference in the way Jake played throughout his sessions with Charlie and the rest of the hockey season. Jake has a great deal of respect for Charlie which is not always common with a teenager:) We have often thought we should have Charlie work with Jake weekly until he is 21 years old:)"

"Time well spent! My son, Dan, just completed Charlie Pens' Power Skating Camp and in just three nights, they were able to drive my sons skating confidence and ability to a new level. With only five months skating experience, Dan came to the camp with minimal skill, but he is now looking like one of the team. The instructors provide a perfect balance between group instruction and individual learning, helping each student to do his or her best. The experience AHS brings to the ice is truly invaluable."

"Being that I am over 40, I was concerned I may not be able to adequately do this camp. Charlie and his staff not only made it easy for me, they dissipated all my doubts and made it fun."

"Eric's skating speed and skill has increased tremendously thanks to the powerskating camp he attended this past summer. He is currently the leading scorer and points leader on his Peewee team, and seemingly the first one on the puck time and time again! That's attributable to his foot speed and his application and development of what he learned from Charlie Pens and Company!!!"

"I was taken by surprise at the attention given by the AHS staff to character building! I am thankful and appreciative of my son's exposure to Charlie Pens. Any hockey player who grows up in our area would be sadly shortchanged without getting to know Charlie."
