High-Performance Hockey Development Camp

March 16th - 20th

Nitro Hockey’s March Break Camp for 2018–2015 players delivers a complete development week that blends high-level technical skating, early puck control, athletic movement, and competitive game play. Every session is coached by former NHL players and elite development coaches who understand how to build proper mechanics at the youngest ages.

• 1.5 hours of daily on-ice training

• 1 hour 15 minutes of athletic development training

• Hands-on instruction and corrections

• Daily structured progression
