Players will find games at this showcase less stressful and more fun. Parents and players will be able to obtain information on both Major Junior, Junior A and College Hockey.

Why attend clinics?

A clinic will enable a player and parents to obtain information from reliable Sources. You will be able to ask questions, which may assist you in the decision making process. The Hockey Family will have the opportunity to meet with the scouts. These clinics are a great place to network with people that can really help your hockey career.

It is critical to remember that College Scouts cannot approach players until the players enter their Senior year of High School. A player and his parent can h approach College Scouts and Recruiters at anytime. This is the perfect opportunity to take your game to those scouts and reach out to them. This may be why College Recruiters up to this point have not contacted you at this point in your career.

Practices will allow coaches/scouts to see you on the ice rather than up in the stands. This is one of the only camps to offer practices conducted by coaches. This allows you and coaches to have one on one connection rather than just being watched. Our practices allow coaches to better evaluate you as players and as a person. Practices are a great place for a coach to judge your character and work ethic. Players have quickly learned that higher level coach’s practices are a lot different than their minor hockey league practices, they are more advanced and demanding on a player. By having practices, coaches will be able to judge your fit in their organization and whether or not you will fit in with their coaching styles, practices are not just about practice in this way. They present great scouting opportunity's for coaches, players and parents.
