ON-ICE PROGRAM:

Experience Hockey Training Techniques from 7 Leading Hockey Countries

Drills from 7 countries create an internationl hockey program: campers are introduced to practice drills that are drawn from Canada, USA, Sweden, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Russia and Switzerland creating a global hockey instruction package.

POWER SKATING: Strong skating skills are essential at all levels of hockey. CHCI Power skating instructors emphasize stance, agility, speed, strength, and stride at each camp.

INDIVIDUAL SKILLS: Each player is refreshed on the basics and given opportunity to implement various practice techniques.

TEAM SKILLS: Offensive and defensive positional play is emphasized. Each player is an integral part of a whole team, and is given the opportunity to practice positional play.

GOALTENDERS: Each camp has a qualified goaltending instructor. Limited number of goalies ensures specialized training for each net minder. Register early!

                                               OFF-ICE:

Dry-land Training: The Dry-land Training program starts prior to camp with a "Pre-camp conditioning" schedule that is provided to all registrants 4 weeks prior to camp. Developing power, strength, agility and endurance are the highlights of our Dry-land program. We believe in teaching and demonstrating proven techniques so that they can be applied after camp. This training will help the players maximize their potential and enable them to be highly effective on the ice.

Sports/Recreation: Cross-training is critical for the refined development of an athlete. Campers will enjoy sports such as swimming, soccer, basketball and floor hockey in a fun and competitive atmosphere.

Christian Training: Combining high quality hockey instruction and practical training in Christian living has proven to be a winning combination in preparing young athletes for challenges, both on and off the ice. Each day, the devotional introduces the "game plan" for the day - a theme from the Hockey Player's Handbook. This theme is followed in the daily Christian value discussion when counselors meet with their groups and discuss a number of topics related to life's inevitable challenges. Finally, the evening chapel features a youth-oriented program of music, skits and inspirational talks by the pros.

                                                    STAFF

Counselors: All counselors at camp are volunteers. Our counselors are carefully screened and well equipped. CHCI takes the trust of players and parents seriously. We want to ensure a positive, growing experience for each player.
