The Pond Summer Hockey Program is an intense hockey skating and skills program that is for hockey players of any skill level who are serious about taking their game to the next level. Our camps focus on building proficiency in HOCKEY skating and skills instead of just "drilling." What sets us apart from the rest, is our ability to prioritize the details of what it takes to get to the NEXT level.  We are serious about developing our athletes to progress them to get to the next level, ON and OFF the Ice.
