Analyze. Develop. Execute.
Skills Catered to Your Game
My Approach
My name is Andrew DeCasperis, and I am a teacher and coach at an independent prep school in Connecticut. Since the summer of 2023, I’ve offered private lessons at a number of rinks across Connecticut. In preparation for my third summer, I began brainstorming ways to improve on how I develop my current athletes, and that’s when ADE came about.
ADEHockey offers a personalized approach to skill development. Each drill is tailored to the individual player, emphasizing high-frequency events that players face during games. It is my belief that the most important skills in an elite player’s toolbox are the ones that often go unnoticed, but consistently influence performance at a high level.
To support this philosophy, I rely heavily on video analysis. Sharing game film ahead of our first session is encouraged as it allows me to evaluate current strengths and areas for improvement. This process has a direct influence on the practice plan and progressions moving forward. Players skating with ADE will be asked to complete a short questionnaire reflecting on their own game ahead of their first session.
On-ice sessions are filmed and uploaded to a personalized folder on Google Drive. These folders also include NHL, college, and junior-level game clips that illustrate the concepts we’re working on. The end goal is to provide players a clear model to study at home and apply during their seasons. From a development perspective, ADE Hockey is best suited to athletes committed to long-term growth through training packages.
This program is designed for serious players who are self-motivated. Due to the advanced nature of the program, athletes under the age of 15 are generally not accepted. If you are looking for an exemption, complete the New Player Consultation form to set up a phone call.
Ideal candidates include high-level youth, prep, junior, and collegiate players.
