The National Hockey Academy (NHA) is a hockey organisation founded in the Midlands to create opportunities for the next generation of players. Established in 2018 by Ricky Saund, the academy was built around a commitment to giving young people access to high-quality coaching and the chance to learn from international coaches. Its work focuses on creating opportunities, celebrating diversity and supporting junior hockey development.

NHA runs hockey training camps and events across the country, bringing together professional players, experienced coaches and international talent.
