What Parents & Coaches Are Saying
You absolutely nailed this camp. Brayden was so excited to go everyday and he didn’t lose any of that momentum towards the end of the week. He loved the off ice portion just as much as the on ice. The off ice portion was so beneficial and he was excited to tell us about it everyday.
— Tara Gee (Parent of Athlete)
Our son Ben really loved your camp last week. We really appreciated your daily updates because we could discuss and build on those lessons at home (I wish you'd share some of those lessons with some coaches sometime). Based on our son's feedback our first impression of you, your camp is remarkable, we will continue to send him to anything you organize!
— Sloden Lackovic (Parent of Athlete)
Wanted to reach out and express our gratitude to you and your team for a great week of camp for Vaughan. We knew this was a special experience when he would give minute by minute detail on how every day went. That’s not the norm. Usually we get the “it was good” response and that’s that. So for that, we thank you!
— Joel Sneddon (Parent of Athlete)
You truly are filling the gap in the sports development model. On top of that, you are making it enjoyable. Ethan loved both the on-ice and off-ice parts of camp and came home to say how much the off-ice would improve him as person and athlete. Outstanding job. Thank you.
— Dave Domjan (Parent of Athlete)
To be honest this is all stuff I’ve never come across in my 25 years behind a bench but would have been incredibly helpful tools. Thank you for taking things to another level. Ryder has really enjoyed the first two days and is learning how to apply these teachings to his daily and pregame routines.
- Corey Hallman (Parent of Athlete)
Thanks for including Cam this week. I think we can say it was the best camp he's attended. Those topics are exactly what he needed for real life and hockey right now
