Hockey techniques uses many innovative pieces of equipment to help players
develop certain skills. (Bungie Cords, Resistance Belts, Reaction
Balls and Belts (Camper Favorites), Jump Pads, Weighted and mini pucks, Stickhandling

This is the most popular option. Players stay for the full day. It would include everything that comes with the "On-ice Only Camp" option, plus a dryland workout.
This is a real workout program designed for players of all ages. We have found the perfect mix of hard work (players will get sore muscles) and fun to make sure the players work hard. As they get older, the workout gets more intense.
In addition to the workout program, Hockey Techniques brings net, pucks and boards with us to selected locations for off-ice shooting practice and instruction.
*Equipment: Hockey Techniques uses many innovative pieces of equipment to help players develop certain skills. (Speed Ladders, Jumping Pads, Balance Boards, Reaction Balls (a favorite with all campers), Agility Flag Games, Close Gap Ropes, Medicine Balls, and much more - some equipment may not be used at all locations). * Note: All equipment mentioned may not be used at every program.

The "Defense Skills and Game Situation Camp"
Players are split into groups by level. Each group will do specific Defensive skating, puck and game situation skills. (Some examples are: coverage in front, 1 on 1's, stepping up, breakouts, quick takeoffs, pivots, shooting from the point...and much more). Dependant upon the skill and age level of the on-ice group, the coach will work on game situation drills covering virtually all aspects of the position. PW, BT and HS aged players will do full contact drills. The camp will typically share the ice with the forward's camp and may join together for some game situations. (Mouth Pieces are mandatory for PW and up.)

The clinics are formatted differently than the summer camps. Campers will be split up into subgroups by age and ability. All clinic prices include only on-ice instruction. Each clinic may be specialized to a different skill or set-up. Most clinics will be small group type formats using general skills.

Hockey Techniques Goal
Our goal is to have every camper leave with the feeling of success and accomplishment. We strive for a competitive environment in which the campers are challenged to perform at and above their comfort level and ability. Every player should complete the camp or clinic with the knowledge that they worked extremely hard and by doing so they developed new skills and had fun in a quality learning environment.

Hockey Techniques Slogan
"Effort Produces Results"©
Hockey Techniques has tried to pass along this slogan to all of its campers. It is certainly a quote that holds true not only at our camps and clinics, but also in real life. The more effort that a camper puts into the drills the more he or she will improve. The Hockey Techniques staff will also follow the slogan and lead by example.
Hockey Techniques use subgroups on the ice as a way of implementing levels of achievement. This also gives us the ability to give each player an increased amount of individual attention. We stress to the coaches that we want them to stop the kids if the players are doing the drills wrong. We do not just do drills to fill time. We have found that by formatting our on-ice in this manner, we have the ability to properly challenge skaters of ALL ages and abilities. As the player gets older and more experienced the camp progressively gets harder.
"I have been sending my son to hockey techniques every summer for 5 years now...I started to send him as a house player, and still do, now that he is an experienced travel player. They teach and challenge players, effectively, at all levels." Mike R. (NJ)
