In-Residence Youth Superskills Summer Camp

Atom, Pee Wee and Bantam (Ages 9 - 14)

For over a decade, the World Hockey Centre has been teaching this wonderful game to players of all ages and skill-levels in many different programs. Since then, we have seen our camps and the facility itself, blossom into the premier skill-development program in North America. Our philosophy is simple: provide a positive, professional environment; top quality professional instruction; lots of ice-time with a focus on individual skill; professional strength and conditioning coaches for dryland training; and a serious commitment to helping players progress to higher levels of the game. This program is designed for those players who truly understand the commitment required to get a step ahead of the competition. The World Hockey Centre has been very successful helping players achieve their goals, and we can help you.



The Training

Skill development and conditioning are the essential elements of our training program. Endurance, quickness and agility are all finely tuned on the ice, while weight training, conditioning and off-ice shooting are a part of our dryland training. Off-ice, players will make use of our obstacle course, ball hockey court, outdoor shooting lanes, weight room and spin bikes.

Fun @ WHC

If you are serious about your skill development, you already know off-season training is essential to your progression as a hockey player. That doesn't mean you can't work hard and have fun at the same time.

Players staying for multiple weeks have the option to go on field trips* to help break up the demanding training schedule during the week. Favourite WHC field trips include popular destinations like the Hockey Hall of Fame, Wasaga Beach, and Blue Jay Stadium.
