Our Defenceman Development five-day camp gives your child the key offensive and defensive skills to succeed in this demanding position. It advances players’ abilities to the next level to allow them to flourish during their winter and spring seasons.
Each day starts with everyone together for 15 to 20 minutes. Then the ice will be broken into three groups: defensive zone, neutral zone and offensive zone. Players work through each zone to learn and master its responsibilities and skills, including powerful skating, positioning and puck control.
