CAMP DETAILS

Two great weeks to choose from!

July 15th – Week 1: Campers will be placed on a house team or come with 7 – 14 of their favorite hockey friends. Each team will have a Head Coach to guide them on their journey. Together the team will grow, support, encourage and motivate each other to play hard and accomplish camp goals. Developing a Hockey IQ is best when the athletes are challenged to find a team role, surge through situational constraints, answer reflection questions and practice being unselfish. Fundamental skill acquisition alongside tactical intentions will help each player find a voice on the field and a way to contribute to their teams of the future.

August 3rd – Week 2: Get Game Ready! Reinforce the habits necessary to have a successful hockey season. Let us fuel your desire to be the fittest, fastest, most verbal, competitive and coachable player. Our curriculum with work through the player techniques and team tactics to help you improve as an athlete and have fun in the process.
