2023 Summer Camps
2023 Summer Camps
All of our summer camps unless otherwise stated, include 2 ice sessions per day, 1 hour of dry land training and daily hockey IQ. Groups will be scheduled efficiently so there is very little down time. Camps are fast paced and are scheduled to get maximum use out of the time players are with us.
Our dry land training is held on site at Rod Hamm Arena in our fully equipped Performance Center. Sessions will be lead by one of our certified personal trainers. All dry land training will be sport/age specific, insuring proper technique, designed to complement our on ice sessions and to reinforce quickness, strength, endurance and agility.
Our Hockey IQ will include nutrition, motivation, time management, work ethics, individual goal setting and sport psychology. Hockey IQ sessions will be presented by our coaching staff, trainers and team of experts.
