This year, Friday Night Hockey Academy will feature skills taught by Pinnacle Hockey Development.  Led by Mickey Kluner, Pinnacle Hockey Development has teamed up with the Bow River Bruins to provide Bow River players access to elite skill development and specialty clinics.

Pinnacle Hockey Development is a Calgary based hockey program that focuses on player development through winter, spring and summer.  It helps guide elite and non-elite players to become stronger and more confident hockey players.  Mickey Kluner runs the program and is proud to be extremely involved with the on-ice product, running the vast majority of all Pinnacle programming.  Mickey has coached in Calgary and area, most notably as head coach of the Calgary Royals and Rocky Mountain Raiders Bantam AAA programs for 7 consecutive seasons.  His focuses are now solely on the programming with Pinnacle, working with players aged from 5 years old all the way to professional players.  With approximately 600 players a year in the program, the biggest joy for Pinnacle and their staff is seeing a player put the work in and get to the next targeted level, regardless of their calibre. Mickey and his staff are extremely excited to begin working with Bow River and assisting with the development of their players.
