A new standard
This camp will set a new standard for summer hockey camps nationwide. I've attended, coached, and spectated more camps than I care to remember both in Sweden and the U.S. We have taken the good, subtracted the bad, and added what was missing to create a truly comprehensive hockey camp.
The goal is to create a positive learning environment to promote the game of hockey and inspire players to achieve more.
The camp is open to Sqiurts-Bantams including goalies divided in two groups with 3 hours of ice daily, dryland, and classroom elements including nutritional & training advice, video analysis of technical elements, guest speakers, and more. Guest speakers will include current and former professional players who will share their experiences and offer advice.
Healthy and nutritious lunches and snacks will be included daily to keep the players fueled properly.
In addition to on-ice instructors, speakers, etc, each group will have 3-4 group leaders with them at all times to supervise, keep the players motivated, and ready to make the most out of the week. All instructors have been screened and backgrounds checked.
A professional goalie instructor will be on the ice daily for at least one of the sessions.

unique on and off ice training techniques used in Sweden and other
European countries. Individual skill development is key to continuous
improvement. Our approach recognizes that player acquires skill
differently.
The
comprehensive skill approach goes beyond on-ice drills into the
classroom where players will analyze skating technique and more. It
also carries over into dryland drills focused on improving on-ice
mechanics and develop proper habits.
Proper preparation and nutritional habits will be covered. Each player will gain an improved foundation to start off the upcoming season with.
