The Coach
The seeds for New England Hockey Institute sprouted in 1976, when Dennis Chighisola attempted to fill what he thought was a growing need in his home region, this being a skill oriented training program that included game-relatedskating, puckhandling, passing and shooting. The popularity of his early sessions grew such that Dennis ultimately expanded and operated some of the most successful hockey schools in the Northeast, with locations in MA, RI and PA. (Numerous former and current NHL-ers have been among Coach Chic’s students.)
In 1979, Coach Chighisola studied at the Institute for Sport and Physical Culture in Moscow of the old Soviet Union. And, as you’ll discover within the pages of CoachChic.com, that eye-opening experience still influences the way he teaches today.
