UPDATES

Feb 12th: I got ice for Aug 11-15 in Pelham. Unfortunately, I have to pick a limited age group and it will be 2014 & 2015's. Registration details below.
*NOTE: I'm still hopeful that I might get one more week at Canada Games in August (2013's)

Jan 2nd: Seymour-Hannah in St Catharines is shutting down all four ice pads for the summer.  This has left many people scrambling for ice with the few arenas that are open in the summer months. I have made requests at Ridley, Pelham, and Canada Games for July 14-18 / July 28-Aug 1st / Aug 5-8 / Aug 11-15.

2025 DETAILS

• 24 skaters and 2 goalies each week.
• Kids will receive 2.25 hours of golf lessons/playing time Monday to Friday.  On Monday/Tuesday/Thursday, Coach Kevin and two assistants will teach fundamentals like grip, stance, posture and movement.  Kids will learn and practice short game skills (putting & chipping) and spend time on the range developing or improving correct swing technique and consistent ball striking.  We’ll have FUN while improving golf skills.  Kids will play the Par 3 course (8 holes) on Wednesday and they'll have the opportunity to play "the big course" on Friday!!
• Our on-ice instructor doesn't mess around—expect hands-on drills that nail down essential skating techniques, puck handling, and smart game tactics. This camp is all about building confidence and skills in a fun, no-nonsense environment where kids learn to dominate the ice while having a blast.
• Off-ice training is all about turning raw energy into explosive athleticism. Kids tackle stairs, agility drills, and dynamic conditioning workouts designed to boost speed, balance, and strength—so they can hit the ice with confidence and power.  Expect kids to come home tired:)

2025 COST 

• SKATERS $625 
• GOALIES $475 - no on ice coaching - but we guarantee you LOTS of shots and encouragement from the coaching team!!
