🏒 Program Details

 
Player Level = AAA/AA players
 

⚠️ AAA/AA Level Players: This program is designed for travel-level players, as it assumes participants already possess a strong foundation in skating and puck skills. Players below that level will struggle to compete and perform the drills as intended. For those players, we recommend joining our Spring & Summer Skill Sessions to build a stronger foundation. For any questions regarding player level or registration, please email mark@markzarbohockey.com.

 
Total Practices: 4 – 1.5 hour practices → 6 total hours of ice
 
Maximum Players: 18 → 3 groups, 6 players
 

🏒 Staff

 

Head Instructor = Jared Cummins (Skating Coach & AHL Referee)

 

🏒 Cost

 

  • 1 Week = $150/player ($25/hour ice)
  • 2 Weeks = $125/week ($20/hour ice — 17% discount)

    🏒 Objective

     

    Purpose of the camp is to focus on foundational skating & puck control skills and apply them into game situations.
