America East formed as a college development league for aspiring student athletes, is progressing quite well as it prepares for the upcoming inaugural season. Programs have reported good results in recruiting players for their teams as they embark in this new era of eastern Junior A hockey.

The primary goal of America East is to develop and promote a highly competitive league that promotes its players to college and professional teams. The AEHL will to provide talented and dedicated hockey players an opportunity to play competitive hockey at the Junior “A” level. America East is the first Junior League sanctioned by the North American Amateur Association (NAAHA). The NAAHA currently sanctions the “AAA” Metropolitan Boston Hockey League.

 The key components of the AEHL mission statement are as follows:         

1.     Player Testing

2.     Player Development

3.     College and Major Junior Exposure

 America East has teamed up with PEAC Performance to test all its league players and develop an API (athletic performance index). PEAC physiologist and skill-mechanics expert Ron Johnson has developed the world’s most precise sport specific evaluation and development system. The API will be provided to all players pinpointing skills that need improvement and allow for comparison to his peers across the country. This provides our players with an alternative way to measure abilities besides scoring statistics. The API is also made available to over 40 participating NCAA college programs enhancing our player’s exposure.

The AEHL is currently comprised of eight teams, with interest in joining the league strong. The teams will play a 50 game league schedule; participate in 2 showcases, host a league All-Star game, then conclude with the AEHL Playoffs in April.

 Each league member is eager to start the season and bring a competitive alternative solution to hockey as usual in the East.

 West Island Tabs Former NHL'er to Coach
2005-08-22

Development Put First! 

FORMER NHL DEFENSEMAN  BOBBY DOLLAS TO COACH WEST ISLAND HOCKEY ACADEMY’S AEHL TEAM

Montreal, Canada, (Wednesday, August 17, 2005) – West Island Hockey Academy have announced that former NHLer Bobby Dollas will be their AEHL team’s assistant coach.  Mr. Dollas, drafted in the first round, played 646 NHL games, 300 AHL games and 45 games in the IHL.  Dollas won the Eddie Shore Award as the best defenseman in the AHL in 1993 and the following year won the gold medal with Team Canada at the World Championships in 1994.  He also has won 2 Calder cups in the AHL.  Dollas spent his development years in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League and the Quebec Midget AAA Hockey League, where he won the Air Canada Cup with the Lac St Louis Lions (formerly the West Island Lions).  He won the World Junior Championships in 1985, taking home his first gold medal with Team Canada.  

Bobby Dollas evolved out of the same program that West Island Hockey Academy did.   The Lac St Louis Lions (established in 1976), who later changed their name to West Island Lions, has won 3 gold medals and 2 silver medals at the Canadian championships (Air Canada Cup) over the years.  “We (West Island Hockey Academy) in partnership with the West Island Lions, experimented over the last 3 years to craft a development model and Bobby Dollas was a key member in the research project that has yielded what may be one of the most successful development programs in the world”   

“Building upon the strengths of the AAA program (West Island Lions) we increased the practice to game ratio to 5/1.”  In a type of research project that started in 2002, we brought some of the top hockey players from all over the world and trained them in parallel with the Lions” said Bobby Dollas. 

The first results to the research project indicated that the international player illustrated faster individual development.  “I believe that this accelerated progress can be mostly attributed to the higher ratio of practice to games and the fact that the International team played against older and stronger (physically) teams.  Both groups (International & Lions) were approximately the same age, the same skill/talent level and all practices were together (on and off-ice). 

 As well, in games, the International players were all given equal ice time, as it was believed that this would result in the best individual development (long term objectives) as well as a unique team experience.  Whereas with the Lions, the coaching staff gave ice time to the players they believed could help the team win the game (short term objectives). 

 “Accomplishments that I am very proud of this year” said a proud Dollas “are, the International team defeating one of the top Quebec Junior AAA teams (Champlain Cougars) 3-2 at the end of the year and the advancement of the International players to the junior level.”  “One of our players in particular, Brian Henderson, who is turning a lot of heads in a Junior camp as we speak, came to our program last year playing the game with his head down all the time.”  “This impacted on his skating and his vision for the game”  “We worked on these issues all year and by the end of the year you could no longer recognize him as the same player”.    

Bobby Dollas said that “…the high practice to game ratio while training with Lions and my one year with Team Canada, is what enabled me to enjoy the success I had in the NHL.”  “It is amazing when you think that that Midget AAA team has put over 70 players in the NHL, including myself”

“Mr. Dollas, who is also coaching at the semi-professional level, will be a key instructor for the Academy at practice.” announced the team’s GM Regis Gresseaux.  “Bobby’s attention to individual details and his commitment to development through practice will be what these players need”

 The Head coach for the team has yet to be announced from the Academy.
