Why the Lions Cup?

Because development happens when you step out of your comfort zone. KHA players immerse themselves in a new environment — new opponents, new styles of play, and new cultural experiences — while learning the American-Czech hybrid approach that defines Kapusta Hockey Academy.

Players return home more confident, more skilled, and more prepared for the next step in their hockey careers.
