Registration IS NOW OPEN

Encounter Sports hockey camps are a great time for personal growth, both on and off the ice. Our coaching team provides a mixture of one-on-one, small-group, and large-group instruction to make your player more confident on the ice. We focus on your skater’s strengths and weaknesses, encouraging and challenging them to advance to the next level by showing them how to do things correctly. 

There are limited spaces for goalies. There will be separate goalie instructors to work with the goalies. They will also get lots of shots during many of the drills. 

Our high staff-to-player ratio ensures every player receives instruction on fundamental skills like skating, passing, stick handling, and shooting. Additionally, we focus on the entire athlete – not just the body but also the mind and spirit. 

Each player will receive close to 15 hours of ice time each week. Off-ice time will include team sports like street hockey or basketball, team-building fun, physical training, and classroom learning focusing on hockey IQ, leadership, character and personal health.
