Global Hockey - Massachusetts Hockey Camps | Ice Hockey Training

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.

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.

Do you offer multi-child discounts?
