THE S3 PATHWAY
Athletes improve fastest when surrounded by motivated players who challenge one another daily. S3 is committed to creating competitive environments where female athletes learn to skate faster, think quicker, compete harder, and grow confidently alongside other serious players. Build skating foundations, confidence, hockey IQ, and competitive habits in a positive and high-energy environment.
WHY FAMILIES CHOOSE S3
- Elite Female Mentorship
Athletes are coached by women who have successfully navigated elite hockey pathways and understand the pressures, demands, and opportunities young female athletes face. - High-Level Training Environment
Sessions are intentionally designed around pace, pressure, decision-making, and game-realistic execution. - Confidence Through Competition
We challenge athletes to compete, adapt, and grow in environments that build resilience and self-confidence. - Long-Term Player Development
S3 focuses on developing habits, leadership, and mindset that support athletes throughout every stage of their hockey journey.
MORE THAN HOCKEY
At S3, we believe elite development extends beyond skating and puck skills. We are committed to helping female athletes develop confidence, resilience, leadership, and habits that positively impact them both on and off the ice.
TESTIMONIALS
My daughter and her teammates have been fortunate enough to take lessons with Marisa over the past few years. Marisa establishes an excellent environment for growth and development individualized to each player. Her attention to detail of specific skill sets during training, on and off the ice, provide ample opportunities of continuing improvement for players of any age.

We have worked with Coach Raspa on ice hockey development for over three years. Her on ice resume is excellent, as she played the highest level of women's competition, from youth AAA, to NCAA Division 1, to the Professional level. She continually pushes her students to work on skills, not just to be proficient but to strive and aspire for being better. Marisa gets her students to perform outside their comfort zones through various techniques. She is able to build a wonderful rapport with clients that goes beyond the ice. Whether it is questions about playing, recruiting, or just everyday questions, she is always willing to listen and help guide to an appropriate answer. We value her expertise and are fortunate to have her guiding us on the youth sports journey.

I’ve played hockey for about 10 years now and have tons of lessons, with many different instructors, but Marisa has by far been my favorite. She has pushed me to become a better hockey player not only with my mental state but with my physical state as well. I met with her almost every other day of the week during the summer and by the end of the summer I saw a drastic change in my skills as a hockey player. Raspa has also become a mentor to me; her work ethic and positive attitude are extremely contagious. Overall, Marisa has pushed me to be a more skilled hockey player and person over the few years I have known her.

It is almost impossible to find a girls hockey camp or training program. All of the ones we have found are in another state. Our daughter refuses to do co-ed hockey in any format, so we were at a loss as to where we could get her on the ice to practice, improve and learn new skills. We were so excited when we heard about S3 two years ago. Our daughter loves the program, so much so she is willing to get up really early and be in the car for 35-45 minutes (one way).
S3 provides a safe, supportive and fun environment for girls to practice their skills while learning new ones, as well as building their confidence as athletes and hockey players. We wish there were more opportunities in our area for all girls hockey camp / skills development, and hope S3 can will be able to continue to expand their program (camp or skills development) around the Boston area.
