Atlanta Fire Alumnus Drew Baker making waves in the SPHL! :
Former Atlanta Fire star drew baker just won his second SPHL championship for the Pensacola IceFlyers last week!
Baker played his minor hockey for the Atlanta Fire, Hawkesbury in the central junior hockey league in Ontario, and played 1 year for the owls at Kennesaw state.
By Bill Vilona, Pensacola News Journal
The Pensacola Ice Flyers created a fairytale ending to win another championship.
And it happened in the most amazing way possible.
Josh Cousineau flicked a backhand shot a split-second before regulation play ended, giving the Ice Flyers a dramatic 5-4 victory Thursday night against the Peoria Rivermen to sweep the SPHL President’s Cup Finals at the
Pensacola Bay Center.
“That was definitely awesome. That was the best,” said Cousineau, the team’s newly-minted hero. “We just got a lucky bounce at the end. My teammates threw it on the net and I just buried it.”

May 6, 2016
The Atlanta Fire Hockey Club and the Nashville Jr. Predators are joining forces in youth hockey. The two organizations have entered into a strategic partnership to enhance their existing elite hockey programs. This new
development-focused initiative will build off the strong coaching infrastructure, which is already in place at the Fire and Jr. Predators organizations. Players will benefit from joint coaching and development activities throughout
the regular season.
The purpose of the Fire-Predators program is to augment and increase skill development during the regular season, while also providing top players an avenue to compete in elite spring and summer tournaments. Launching
during the upcoming 2016-2017 season, the program will focus on the top travel teams in each age group.
“Our organizations have a shared focus on player development, so it makes sense for us to merge together as a community and combine our high-caliber coaching and facilities for additional training,” explained Curtis
Morrison, Director of Hockey for the Atlanta Fire. “In my opinion, every time players have the opportunity to be trained by and exposed to a different coach, it’s a positive,” Morrison added.
The director of hockey for the Nashville Jr. Predators organization, Jordan French, is equally enthusiastic about this new partnership. “We’re going to maximize our travel by incorporating skill development into our game
weekends, making this a very cost effective initiative for all player families,” said Jordan. “It will be an easy program to implement since both organizations have access to ice,” he added.
This partnership will also include jointly creating elite spring and summer tournament teams. “Aligning our organizations to enhance player development during the regular season and offering top talent the opportunity to
compete on an elite spring/summer tournament team brings enormous benefits to our players” said French.
Both organizations view this partnership as one more reason for players to try-out for their respective travel teams later this month. After all, to be eligible for the joint Fire-Predators elite tournament teams, players must play
for the Jr. Predators or the Atlanta Fire during the regular season.

The Vision:
The Fire House development hockey program, in conjunction with the Cooler Learn To Play Hockey program, envisions a multi layered skill development approach for all youth hockey players starting at the grass roots level. Capitalizing on the key skill acquirement years (9-12) our program is designed to get the young players more ice touches, and more puck touches. Implementing professionally structured practices, and skill development ice
sessions, our goal is to help the players reach their talent ceiling. Key Concepts of the Program:
· More ice touches (3 touches per week including 2 skill practices and 1 game)
· Professionally structured practices and skill development sessions
· Emphasis on individual skills along with the introduction of team play
· A challenging environment yet a fun atmosphere with positive feedback to players
6U-8U Mite Program:
Skill development days: Tuesday and Thursday 5:10pm Cross Ice games: Saturday morning 8:00am
This age category is critical to the success of any hockey program. The program is designed to have the kids moving, skating, touching pucks, playing games, and enjoying the game. Understanding how young kids think is the
key to maximizing their ice time with fun and challenging drills. Skills stations will best help them achieve basic, and fine-tuned motor skills. Remembering that hockey is the only sport where a young player has to completely
learn how to balance on skates before doing anything else, our main focus is to create an atmosphere of learning the game in a fun positive setting.
10U Squirt Program:
Skill Development Days: Monday and Wednesday 5:40 pm Squirt Games: Saturday Mornings 9:30 or 10:45am
This is the start of the optimal years of skill acquirement for all young hockey players. The goal is to push the players to acquire all the necessary skills to be a successful player moving forward into their teen years. Building off
the basics they will have acquired in the Mite program, we are now building those skills alongside with the understanding of the game. Using small area games and lots of repetition to build muscle memory, players will
continue to refine their skills.
12U Peewee Program:
Skill Development Days: Monday and Wednesday 5:40 pm Peewee Games: Saturday 5:30 or 6:45pm
This is the start of the optimal years of skill acquirement for all young hockey players. The goal Is to push the players to acquire all the necessary skills to be a successful player moving forward into their teen years. Building off
the basics they will have acquired in the Mite program, we are now building those skills alongside the understanding of the game. We will start implementing a more structured environment for the players, such as forecheck
understanding, power-play and penalty kill intro and learning how to play the ultimate team game. Using small area games and lots of repetition to build muscle memory, players will continue to refine their skills.
14U Bantam Program:
Team Practices: Friday 7pm Bantam Games: Saturdays Times TBD
The 14U hockey program will continue to give players an avenue to play hockey for fun in a competitive non travel setting. The teams will receive one hockey practice on Friday nights, as well as play games over the weekend
but typically on Sunday afternoons.
This program has the possibility to be coupled with a non-check high school hockey league which will provide players with supplemental games as well as competition without having to commit to a travel level schedule. The
Fire development program is a proud member of the AYHL hockey league started in 2013 by 3 programs, and has now expanded to 4 programs within the city of Atlanta.

The Atlanta Gladiators revealed that they have partnered with The Cooler in Alpharetta to launch their Youth Hockey Camp Program, the team announced on
Tuesday.
The camp will run Monday, July 11th through Friday, July 15th with session times ranging from 8:00 AM - 3:00 PM, offering young hockey players the chance to
improve their game in a fast-paced, professional environment. The camp instructors - including Gladiators Head Coach Andy Brandt and Gladiators Team Captain &
Atlanta Fire Director of Player Development Derek Nesbitt - recognize that the off-season presents the best opportunity for athletes to increase their strength and
stamina, thus giving them a substantial edge over the competition.
"We’re excited to get the Gladiators & Cooler camp started," said Brandt. "There are a lot of young hockey players in the Metro Atlanta area and our hope is to help
develop certain aspects of their game while having a week of fun."
The week-long camp will provide players with an opportunity to focus on refining their skills, both on and off the ice. Participating players will experience three
separate segments of training, including two separate hours of on-ice work mixed with an hour of off-ice training focused on hockey specific coordination and
cardio exercises as well as dryland stickhandling and shooting work.
The impetus behind launching the youth camp, besides helping local youth hockey players develop their skills, was to give back to the Metro Atlanta community
that has always been so supportive of the Gladiators.
"We are really excited to be partnering with The Cooler in putting on this camp," said Gladiators VP and General Manager Joe Gelderman. "Our plan is to build off of
this in the future by doing similar camps via partnerships with the many other local rinks in Metro Atlanta. Continuing to further ingrain ourselves in the local
hockey community is a longstanding goal of the Gladiators, and one we take very seriously.
This camp provides a special opportunity for youth hockey players from all around the Atlanta area. It gives them a chance to learn both from the Gladiators and
The Cooler’s experienced coaching staff, it gives them a chance to develop their skill set, and it gives them a chance to spend quality time with a few ’heroes’ that
perhaps they’ve seen play in a Gladiators jersey."
Registrations are now open for camp, with sessions offered for the following age groups: Mite/Squirt, Peewee/Bantam, and Midget. Full camp information and
online registration is available at atlantagladiators.com/hockeycamp. Questions can be directed to mailto:hockeycamps@atlantagladiators.com.
