🏒 Notes

 

  • No beginners please! These sessions are not appropriate for beginner-level players. A beginner is defined as a player who does not yet have the basic skating skills (stopping/starting, crossovers, tight turns, backwards skating, basic puck control, and edge work). All practices and skills sessions are designed with the assumption that players already have these basics.

  • Questions about age groups or skill levels? Contact Mark at mark@markzarbohockey.com.

  • If a camp you want is not listed on the sign-up form, it is full. Please email to be added to the waiting list.

1–2 camps = $40/player per camp ($20/hour camp)
