Led by Larry Pearson, the unique off-ice program compliments the on-ice program. The emphasis of Roger Neilson’s Hockey Camp off-ice program is on Team Building, Leadership and Hockey Specific training.

The goal is for each participant to understand what it takes to be a better team player.

The program stresses Personal Growth through personal and team challenges.

Team leadership and teamwork are enhanced through challenging activities that require leadership skills such as: goal setting, planning, communication, problem solving, decision making, conflict resolution and effective frustration management, personal trust enhancement, team spirit and fun. These valuable skills and attributes are developed at camp and can be introduced to your teammates when you return home.

The activities get the participants into exercising, thinking, cooperating, risk taking and feeling good about their accomplishments.

The kind of competition we practice is aimed at developing strong individuals and group unity.

Activities are debriefed so that players become aware of not only what they did in the activity, but also what they learned from the experience. Then the process is examined to identify how the lessons learned can be transferred to on ice situations.

The fitness program and training emphasizes hockey specific components and training ideas for cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength and endurance, power, speed and agility. Current training and winning edge concepts are introduced and practiced. Slideboards, dynabands, circuits and speed training drills are utilized. Training for speed off-ice can be transferred to speed on ice.
