Spring Lions Cup


Compete in Europe. Train Like a Pro. Experience the Best of Czech Hockey.

Kapusta Hockey Academy is heading back to Europe for two elite international experiences — the Spring Lions Cup (April) and Summer Lions Cup (July) — giving players the chance to train with world-class coaches, compete against top European programs, and explore the historic city of Prague.

Led by Tomas Kapusta — former Edmonton Oilers NHL Draft Pick, Czech National Team forward, and 1994 Olympian — this is more than a tournament trip. It’s high-level development, cultural immersion, and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for young athletes looking to elevate their game.

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.
