ON - ICE TRAINING

Drills from 7 countries create an international hockey program

Players are introduced to practice drills that are drawn from Canada, USA Sweden, Czech Republic, Slovakia Russia and Switzerland creating a global hockey instruction package.

Power Skating

Strong skating skills are essential at all levels of hockey. CHCI Power skating instructors emphasize proper stance, agility, speed, strength, and stride at each camp.

Individual Skills

Each player is refreshed on hockey basics and given opportunity to implement various practice techniques.

Team Skills

Offensive and defensive positional play is emphasized. Each player is an integral part of a whole team, and is given the opportunity to practice positional play.

Checking Skills

There will be designated time OFF-ICE as well as ON-ICE for learning proper checking skills. This will be done in a controlled manner that will benefit each camper of applicable ages.

Goal Tenders

We have two very qualified goaltender coaches to work directly with the goaltenders on proper positioning, strength and agility.

** Limited number of goalies ensures specialized training for each net minder. Register early!**

OFF - ICE TRAINING

Dry-land Training

The Dry-land Training program starts prior to camp with a "Pre-camp conditioning" schedule that is provided to all registrants 4 weeks prior to camp. Developing power, strength, agility and endurance are the highlights of our Dry-land program. We believe in teaching and demonstrating proven techniques so that they can be applied after camp. This training will help the players maximize their potential and enable them to be highly effective on the ice.

Sports/Recreation

Cross-training is critical for the refined development of an athlete. Campers will enjoy sports such as swimming, soccer, basketball and floor hockey in a fun and competitive atmosphere.
