HOCKEY INDIGENOUS
DEVELOPMENT CAMP
These hockey camps will be available to male and female athletes, although ages eligible for a specific camp may vary depending on the camp and/or location. We focus on targeting Youth ages 7 - 15 years of age.
Development Hockey Camps help First Nation, Metis, and Inuit Youth for their development that is designed to help players improve their skills and knowledge of the game through on-ice practices and off-ice training. Players can expect to receive instruction from experienced coaches and trainers on various aspects of the game, such as skating, shooting, stickhandling, and teamwork. The camps often include drills and exercises designed to help players build strength, speed, and endurance, as well as game-like situations to practice the skills they have learned.
Hockey Indigenous Development Camp (also known as Hockey Schools) will be directed by our ambassadors as they will facilitate the youth the entire duration. We anticipate to have a positive impact on each community and support their potential.

Roundtable discussions after hockey camp are completed

ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION:
Once our Hockey Camp is completed, we will proudly host a Roundtable discussion where our ambassadors/facilitators will share their story, giving some motivation to all the Indigenous Youth and, Q/A will be last. This will be a great opportunity where the Youth will feel welcomed, get a chance to speak with our ambassadors, and create special memories with each other.
A great way to showcase integrity and comprehensive measures to become one together.
Overall, hockey development camps are a great opportunity for young players to get professional-level coaching and training, and to make connections with other players and coaches in the hockey community. These camps can be an invaluable resource for players looking to improve their skills and advance their careers in the sport. We will be flexible as possible on the schedule needs of Each Community that inquires about our Hockey School and we will do our best to work with each other. We want to lay down the foundation of Indigenous to Indigenous production, development, experience, and instruction.
Please note, pucks will be provided for the Hockey Camp duration, but we do encourage each participant to bring their own water bottles.
