Youth Full-Day Summer Camp: Elite Defense & Power Skating Skills

Take your defensive skills and skating to the next level in a camp built for players who want to make an impact every shift. Learn to shut down opponents by controlling gaps and winning battles, improve your speed and edge control, and make smart plays under pressure. Become a confident, reliable defenseman that coaches trust in every situation.

Power Skating Skills: Every player dreams of skating faster, stronger, and with more explosive power. This camp focuses on the three keys to elite skating: Balance, Strength, and Technique. Through expert coaching and innovative drills, you’ll improve your forward stride, crossovers, tight turns, pivots, stopping, backward skating, acceleration, and escape moves. Move faster, stronger, and more efficiently than ever before, whether you’re defending a rush or joining the attack.

Sharp Defence: Great defensemen don’t just stop plays, they control the game. In this camp, you’ll learn how to play smart, confident, and strong in your own zone and beyond. We focus on key defensive skills like gap control, proper stick positioning, angling attackers to the outside, and winning one-on-one battles. You’ll practice shutting down rushes, breaking up plays, and protecting the net. Also learn how to make clean first passes, move the puck under pressure, and support your teammates with confidence.
