What
separates Global Hockey from other hockey schools?
The coaching staff of Global Hockey is the most highly experienced
staff in the Northeast. (For a list of instructors please
click
here) All of our instructors have coached and/or played
at the NHL, NCAA, USHL, or Elite High School Level. When attending
a Global Hockey Camp you can be assured that you are getting
the coaches who are promised, and coaches who do not participate
in our camps are not listed on our brochures. Our coaches
are experienced at teaching hockey skills to all levels of
players and have developed a systematic, progressive, weekly
curriculum to insure measurable improvement for each player.
Additionally, Global Hockey staff firmly believes that to
best develop each players potential, the proper techniques
of on ice skills direction must be supplemented by a systematic
off ice training and conditioning program suited to the age,
level and other individual aspects of each player. With this
philosophy in mind, the Global Hockey Skills Zone developed.
Can you tell me about
the Global Hockey Skills Zone?
Global Hockey is excited to announce the opening of the
Global Hockey Skill Zone which will provide our campers
unparalleled off ice hockey training. The “Zone”
will be inside our facility and provide over 12,000 sq feet
of workout space. The facility will be equipped with free
weights, slide boards, shooting pits, plyometric zone, Russian
boxes, parachutes, bungee cords, and a stickhandling pit
which will enable us to train players to the fullest possible
extent.
Who can attend your hockey
camps?
All players whether boys or girls at all levels are invited
to our camps. At the younger levels we just ask that each
player can skate and stop, and we will do the rest. On the
first day of camp the players are broken into groups based
on age and ability to make sure each player is receiving
the proper instruction. Players are evaluated throughout
the week to insure that they are in the proper group based
on their ability and daily progression.
How do I know which camp
to attend?
Global Hockey will offer an array of camps which cover all
aspects of hockey. Each one of our camps has a theme, and
those skills are the primary focus during that week. However,
every camp will strongly emphasize skating which will improve
each player’s speed and quickness.
How
many hours are the players on the ice each day at camp?
Full day campers are on the ice for 3-4 hours. Many other
camps offer 5 or more hours of ice, however our philosophy
is that it is counter-productive for the skaters to be on
the ice that long each day. Global balances off ice and
on ice sessions each day to make sure that bad habits are
not formed which frequently occurs with too many consecutive
on ice hours.
Will Global Hockey offer
AAA Camps?
Yes. We are proud to announce that we have two AAA Boys
camps. Harvard Head Coach Teddy Donato will be running our
1996 and 1997 AAA Boys Camp, and Dexter Head Coach Danny
Donato will be running our 1994 and 1995 AAA Boys camp.
What do you do for goalies?
Our goalies will work with the goalie staff separately throughout
the week in order to provide the coaches and goalies maximum
teaching time. Goalies may seem like targets during games
but not during Global Camps. Our ratio of four goalies per
instructor during all camps provides each goalie the extensive
attention that he/she needs to develop their skill and self-confidence
in a very rapid manner for this highly specialized position.
At camp, the focus is the technique, speed, quickness and
agility of each player in order to maximize individual potential
and development.
What is your refund policy?
A 50% deposit is required to hold each player’s spot.
All deposits are non-refundable after May 1st. Any cancellation
prior to May 1st will be subject to a $75.00 processing
fee. Refunds or credits will not be issued for campers who
are expelled or decide to leave camp. A credit toward a
future camp will be issued for players who can not attend
camp due to injury. A doctors note will be required as proof
of injury. All campers must be paid in full 30 days prior
to the start of Camp.
Do you offer multi-child
discounts?
First child is full price, and each additional child receives
a 10% discount off that camp. We also offer a multi-camp
discount. First camp a skater attends is full price, and
each additional camp that the skater attends is 10% off
the lower priced camp.
Does Global Hockey do
Cori and Sori checks on its employees?
Yes. All coaches, instructors, and staff of Global Hockey
have Cori and Sori checks.
