Our programs have been developed by Tara and Donnie and are constantly improving. Both Tara and Donnie have several years of teaching experience in a variety of settings including hockey schools, community youth programs, policing programs and college.

Tara and Donnie work hard to ensure they offer the highest level of hockey instruction with their impressive roster of instructors. All lead instructors have a minimum level of National Women's Hockey League experience or NCAA and most have experience playing internationally.

All of our camps have featured high profile Olympic hockey players and motivational speakers.

Our week long camps focus on individual skill development. We focus on repetition of the skill to ensure motor learning, muscle memory and physical development. We make sure the players understand why they are performing all skills/ drills so they can continue to practice them and put them to use in a game environment after they leave our camps. All drills are oriented toward age and skill level.

Our development programs and team clinics offer a tailored approach to individual skill development and flow drills to improve team and tactical play.

Please go to our development page for a description of the skill sets we focus on.
