About Alain:
Drafted by the St. Louis Blues in the early 1980’s, Alain’s offensive skills became widely recognized throughout the NHL, resulting in a six-year career with the Blues and the Quebec Nordiques.
Upon his retirement from the NHL, Alain blended these experiences with the demand for professional youth hockey instruction in cities throughout the country. His projects have had tremendous following and support, most notably brother and Hockey Hall of Fame superstar, Mario Lemieux. Additionally, this USA Hockey level 4 coach has served in numerous leadership roles on-ice and off, including his time as consultant with the Pittsburgh Penguins youth hockey program, Lithuania Youth Hockey, and as the Director of his namesake, the Alain Lemieux Hockey Schools.
Alain’s professional merits distinguish him as a leader in youth hockey development including not only a AAA bid to the 2010 National Championship but also selection as EJEPL All-Star Head Coach for two consecutive seasons (’15,’16) and EJEPL AAA Coach of the Year (’15), to name a few. His unique brand of on-ice training and his ability to challenge and motivate players has also resulted in successful junior hockey careers for many of his former youth players, earning them spots in the USHL, NAHL, and the USPHL Premiere League.
