Checking & Safety Camp  

Eligible Players
All Pee Wee and Bantam age players

Locations
-Georgetown Ice Center
-Kentwood Ice Arena

Overview
This program is for every Pee Wee & Bantam hockey player, no exceptions!

In fact, we highly recommend at least two sessions, in successive summers, in order for players to learn how to be safe as physical play and the speed of the game increases. During the four hours of daily, on-ice instruction, players will learn how to take and receive stick and body checks and how to become stable on their skates in contact situations. This camp will significantly improve every player’s confidence level and help them enjoy the physical parts of the game as they move from Squirt to Pee Wee and on to Bantam and High School level.
