Development Camp
JUNE 17th – 22nd, 2012
Location: Breezy Point
Goals:
- Provide players with information, tools, programs, ideas etc. that they can take with them and work on their own during the off-season and throughout the season.
- Allow players to see where they rank with others in the state at a young enough age so that if they dreams of playing at higher levels, they know how far they need to go.
- Give players a taste of what it is like to train at the high, intense level that they will encounter if they choose to move on to the collegiate level or beyond.
- Give players who may not be on teams that are rich in talent an opportunity to work and train with other players of equal talent.
Development Camp:
- Those players making the camp spend a week (Sunday night thru Friday) at Breezy Point.
- The camp is very hockey intensive. It is not intended to be a summer camp; this is a development camp. Players train all day.
What we work on:
- On-Ice
- Concepts to be emphasized are established for the week and are incorporated into the Team and Position practices
- Some concepts will be emphasized every year. Other concepts will be altered so that Sophomore’s returning for a second year, get something new.
- Off-Ice
- Skating Treadmill, slideboards, lower body strength, upper body strength, core strength, plyometrics, agility, sprinting, stickhandling, shooting
- Classroom
- Video, Nutrition, Leadership etc.
- Goalies get supplemented with their own off-ice goalie specific training
