At our camp, players receive detailed instruction in the fundamental and advanced skills that make a difference on the ice. We break down each component to ensure athletes truly understand and improve their game.
What we teach:
-
Skating mechanics: Focus on edge control, acceleration, quick starts, and transitional skating.
-
Puck handling: Improve control, reach, deception, and puck protection in high-pressure situations.
-
Evasive maneuvers: Learn how to create time and space using cutbacks, tight turns, and deceptive fakes.
-
Scoring techniques: Practice various shooting styles, release techniques, and net-front awareness.
-
Hockey IQ: Develop game sense through small-area games, decision-making drills, and situational awareness.
-
Confidence with the puck: Build poise under pressure and learn how to dictate play with and without the puck.
Each session is designed to challenge players individually, allowing them to grow at their own pace—regardless of the skill level of others around them. Our goal is to create a fun, competitive, and educational environment where players build real tools to use in games.​​
