IN-DEPTH focus & Positive Learning Environment: Every day, the players will practice, play a full game, have a lecture, review film, workout off-ice, etc. Players are constantly LEARNING at our camp. We tell our players that they will get out of it what they put into it. Players will also receive a 1-on-1 review with an instructor in which players are expected to come prepared with questions in addition to hearing the camp instructors’ analysis of the players’ abilities.
COMPETITION: Players are pushed to perform and excel just as they would in College or at the National team level. Our intent is to develop the competitive mindset of the player and prepare them for these higher levels.
Selects Hockey does not expect to drastically develop a player’s skills in a matter of one week. However, we focus on developing the thought process of a player through practice, film, lectures, competition, workouts, and interaction with our experienced instructors.
