I have designed the Play Like A Pro hockey camps to be informative, challenging, and fun for players of all ages and skill levels. We separate the players into small groups based on age and ability levels. This allows our coaching staff to focus on each and every players individual needs. Doing our specially designed drills with high repetitions and hard work, all players skill levels will be challenged. Players will be challenged to do drills at top speeds so that they get out of their own comfort zone thus raising their skill level. Our coaches will work on players weaknesses as well as their strengths to improve their overall play.

I started my hockey camps (in 1995) because I wanted to pass on the knowledge I have acquired over the years, to the kids who love the game of hockey and wanted to improve their skills. I have been playing and studying the game of hockey for thirty-seven years (19 professionally) and have been fortunate to have been taught by some of the best college and professional coaches the game has to offer. I enjoy working with kids and it is a thrill for me to be able to pass along the knowledge, skills, and little tricks of the trade that I have learned in my career.

Our mission at Play Like A Pro is for the kids to have lots of fun while learning the game we all love to play. Our program is challenging and fun. Each day players will be taught the skills of the game, positional play, one on one techniques and much more. 

I am known as a player who competes every game, works hard, has a lot of character and plays with passion. My coaching staff and I bring that same commitment and passion to teaching the game to our campers.


ON ICE CAMP

All campers will learn one-on-one techniques, how to win the battles for the puck, stickhandling moves, shooting and scoring, and checking- as age appropriate. Drills are designed to replicate game situations while working on their power skating both forward and backwards, edges, mobility, proper body positioning, balance, passing and so much more we ran out of room! 

Campers receive 10-15 hours of ice (depending on location).
