Zalabak Hockey Group
Zalabak Hockey Group was founded to protect the soul of hockey.
IT IS OUR BATTLE FLAG AGAINST Rising costs, pay-to-play barriers, and the pressure to win now, chase status, collect trophies, and build résumés at the expense of learning, confidence, creativity, and long-term growth.
Through professional coaching, meaningful mentorship, competition, and community, we bring players, parents, and coaches together to grow the game — developing athletes not just in their skills, but in their character, creativity, and love for hockey.
We’re here to challenge players to be better, empower coaches to lead better, and remind everyone why they fell in love with this game in the first place.

WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT US
Our goalie had a game yesterday. He played the first half again knocked it out of the ballpark! Just the way his team comes up to him and hugged him after his great Saves just makes my heart so full. Last Monday, he was so excited after practice he came up to me and showed me the card that he got from you guys. He normally doesn’t say anything, but he was so proud! thank you for everything! -Chicago hawks goalie academy attendee
We would like to register for anything that we can that you are offering we really love that Vision and the goaltending Academy. It was great! I also just want to thank you again for everything, Our Goalie is just so happy. It is reflecting in his attitude, his games and his grades. He is now getting all A’s and two B's when he was failing last year. I really believe that it has to do with your programs that he has been in. I can see him putting in a real effort to get better and I owe that to you and your program -Chicago hawks goalie academy attendee
Our Goalie had a blast at camp this week. She was up early every day and ready to go, wanted to be sure she was on time. She was so happy. You guys put a crazy amount of work into everything you do. I'm so grateful for everything you have done! -vision camp attendee
