You won't get lost in a sea of faces at our camp. We will have 3 to 4 instructors per 15-20 skaters for on-ice and off-ice sessions. For goalies, the ratio drops to one instructor per two to three goalies.

What we do is simple: High level coaches and instructors working with players, pushing them to reach peak performance. We have only one goal; each athlete playing their best hockey, ready to make an impact at their training camps.

We expect all athletes to be in top shape when they report to the THC Pre-Tryout Summer Training Camp. This will be the most intense hockey camp they ever attend, guaranteed. To ensure athletes are physically prepared, we encourage them to enroll in one of the THC Summer Hockey Training Programs leading up to this camp (THC Summer Future Stars)

All coaches have a wealth of knowledge in developing hockey players and helping them achieve their full potential. Actively working with NHL players like Jonathan Toews, Travis Zajac, Travis Hamonic, Cody Eakin, Nigel Dawes, Derek Meech, Darren Helm, and J.P. Vigier; Darcy Zajac, Rejean Beauchemin, Jacob Micflickier, Calvin Pickard and Chet Pickard of the AHL, and countless other pro, college, and junior players. Focus Fitness/THC are the undisputed leaders in hockey-specific conditioning and training. Focus Fitness and THC is the official Strength and Conditioning Centre for the WINNIPEG JETS.

Off-ice conditioning will consist of developing first step quickness, agility, balance, and speed. We will use the latest techniques and equipment to ensure your off-ice training component is as hockey-specific as possible to help carry over to your on-ice training. We will begin to build a solid foundation of basic leg and core strength exercises during these off-ice sessions. Fun races and games will allow the kids to compete against each other.

The on-ice training will consist of two separate sessions:

• Session 1 – will involve on-ice speed, explosive power, quickness and conditioning. Our first focus for power skating is on foundation, when the foundation is in place, there are no limits to future skating development. Our power skating sessions will include: proper technique, balance, full strides, edge control, backwards skating, cross-overs, starting and stopping and sharp turns.
• Session 2 –  Will fine tune the skills needed to be at your best for training camp. All aspects of skill development will be worked on in this session including skating, passing, shooting, stickhandling and puck protection. The last part of each session will include small area games working on all skill sets.

Our goaltender coaches from the Ice Lab - The Science of Goalie Training, will work with goaltenders during each groups' on-ice session (power skating session). To ensure max benefits we are limiting the number of goalies to three per age group.
