RMU Hockey Academy
2007 Summer Hockey Camps
To succeed and survive in hockey at any level, a player must commit to training on and off the ice, and must continually develop his or her individual conditioning, skating and hockey skills. The RMU Hockey Academy at the RMU Island Sports Center offers camps and clinics for hockey players of all ages and ability levels.
Two skill development camps are offered for players who need to improve in all facets of the game. These camps are ideal for the player who has participated this past season at the B level in PAHL, House or Developmental league, or completed a Learn to Play Hockey Program.
Specialty camps are available for advanced players who wish to improve their knowledge and ability at a specific position or skill.
Players should register for programs where they will skate in the 2007-2008 season.
