Breakaway's History & Mission

Since being founded in 1988, Breakaway Hockey's top priority has been to offer a fun, community based hockey program that embraces player development, flexible options for multi-sport athletes, and drives at excellence in all aspects of the game.  This vision continues today with owner Jessie Willis, and the knowledgeable Breakaway coaching staff. 

Our goal is simple:  We want to develop each hockey player by helping them train properly, grow exponentially, perform their best, and compete at the next level.  We accomplish this by making sure the kids have fun every time they are here with us.  If a player is not having fun, they're not going to succeed.  When they are having fun, they will naturally push themselves to grow.  We want to ensure that every player leaves the locker room excited for the next time they get to lace up their skates. I think Bobby Orr says it best:

"The biggest thing we get out of it is seeing the kids smile. And hopefully we will also see that the lessons we’re teaching – not only the fundamentals of hockey, but also the life values – are sinking in."

– Bobby Orr

Our talented coaching staff at Breakaway Hockey continually helps players become better “all around” hockey players and athletes.  We share our love for the game with them and work to have fun and enjoy the sport.  Beginning with the basic fundamentals, each player will build on the foundation for further development.  Our camp options allow players of various talent levels to select the right option for them that will help them grow in the areas that are important to them.  Our experienced coaching staff includes players that have succeeded at all levels of play.  Our staff is always excited to be on the ice with our players to share our knowledge and experience with them.  

Breakaway Hockey teaches players how to be the best hockey players they can be and how to be respectful to everyone on and off the ice.   Whether it's teammates, coaches, refs, or anyone else involved, we teach traits are important in all areas of life as the kids grow. 

Whether your player is looking to improve on the basics to keep up with their friends, or they're striving to play professional hockey someday, we're here and we're excited to help! 

We thank you for the opportunity to work with your player and get to know your family.
