The program is designed for elite players that are serious about taking their game to a higher level. The camp encompasses power skating, on-ice individual skill development, game situation drills including specific, scrimmages, off-ice shooting and puck skill development, off-ice strength and conditioning, and hot yoga. It is an all inclusive program that is designed to give each player the opportunity to reach their goals for the upcoming 2010/11 season.

Players will be grouped according to age and ability. It is our main objective in the Elite Conditioning Camp to put together a group of players who have reached a high level of the basic skills for their age, and are thus prepared to undertake a more rigorous program with regard to skating, passing and shooting, puck control, checking and team play. Players accepted into this program will be exposed to the best instruction available. Each group will have a qualified, experienced head instructor.
