The Midget/Junior Summer Camp is a weekly camp for players (AAA/AA 2005, 2006, 2007 birth years). The main purpose of this camp is to teach players how “think the game” and give them a preview into what playing junior/college hockey entails.
This program will teach players how to become a more effective player by thinking the game and recognizing situations. This program is designed like a class, with a progression of skills and concept building being directly applied to games. Practices will be high intensity simulating junior/college level practices. Controlled scrimmages will also be frequently used in practices to teach players how to apply skills learned and not just connect skills to drills but to specific game situations. See below for full explanation of camp design and setup.

Why is this camp is designed the way it is?!
This camp is designed like a class at school. It takes into account research recommendations into how youth learn best.
Prior to each practice players will be sent a video lesson on topics and concepts for that week’s session. Players should watch these videos to get mentally prepared for the concepts to be taught. Just like in school, teachers assign students readings from a textbook before going to class to introduce them to topics for that day.
Players will then attend practices and go over the skills and concepts for that day. After the practice session players should go home and re-watch the teaching video. Research shows when a student reviews a topic learned within 24 hours, they are more likely to retain what they learned.
After a base of skills is built, controlled scrimmages and scrimmage drills will be used to connect concepts/skills together and to games (Practice Tests). The two games are tests, giving players the opportunity to use skills from practice in games. After the game, players will be able to watch and study their shifts and basic analytics through the use of their INSTAT account. This will give players an honest view of their play and a blueprint for their development moving forward.
This camp aims to teach players how to “think the game,” develop a base of knowledge to use their skills more effectively and provide a blueprint for moving forward with their own development. To do that, players must become a student of the game. This program will offer players every opportunity to become that student and improve their hockey IQ. Practices and concepts will be age dependent with each practice building off the one prior.
Outside of this camp, players are offered great discounts to play in the 3 v 3 Cross-ice League and Skill Sessions. This will allow players the ability make an all-around tailored program to their exact needs!
Learning is a skill! Teaching is a science!————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
