Established in 2020, our program was built with one goal in mind: to provide elite-level player development for athletes of all skill levels. From day one, we've been committed to helping players grow both on and off the ice by focusing on every aspect of their development—skill refinement, strength and conditioning, mental toughness, and nutrition.

Our holistic approach creates well-rounded athletes who are not only technically skilled but also physically strong, confident, and mentally prepared for the demands of the game. With a focus on continuous improvement, we work closely with each player to help them reach their full potential and succeed at every stage of their hockey journey.

Coach Adam Alvarez brings over 35 years of playing experience and nearly two decades of coaching expertise to the Chicagoland hockey community. His coaching journey began in 2005 as an assistant under a Level 5 Master Coach, where he refined his skills before stepping into a head coaching role. After a seven-year break serving in the U.S. Army, he returned to coaching in 2019 with enhanced leadership, teaching, and mentorship abilities.

Passionate about player development, Coach Alvarez is committed to helping youth athletes sharpen their skills, build confidence, and grow their love for the game.

Beyond coaching, he serves as President of the Chicago Mouthy Mercs Charity Hockey Club, an adult team dedicated to giving back through charity events like Puck Cancer and Pucks for Autism.
