Below is a list of coaches who participated in our Selects Hockey camp over the past few years:
IN-DEPTH focus & Positive Learning Environment: Every day, the players will practice, play a full game, have a lecture, review film, workout off-ice, etc. Players are constantly LEARNING at our camp. We tell our players that they will get out of it what they put into it. Players will also receive a 1-on-1 review with an instructor in which players are expected to come prepared with questions in addition to hearing the camp instructors’ analysis of the players’ abilities
COMPETITION: Players are pushed to perform and excel just as they would in College or at the National team level. Our intent is to develop the competitive mindset of the player and prepare them for these higher levels
Selects Hockey does not expect to drastically develop a player’s skills in a matter on one week. However, we focus on developing the thought process of a player through practice, film, lectures, competition, workouts, and interaction with our experienced instructors. Players leave our camp with an attention to detail and mental focus that will help push them to new heights in their winter season.

Testimonials:
" I had such an awesome time in Rochester. I was nervous at first, especially since I arrived late. However, once I settled in and realized what a positive environment it was, it was smooth sailing from there. Rooming with people I didn't know was fun, and I really enjoyed it. There were so many great, inspiring and accomplished people there too, and I can't believe that I actually got to learn from them... in person.
Everyone there was an incredible hockey player, and it was fun to be challenged in games and scrimmages. I got to practice a lot and try new things, but most importantly I got to build up my confidence for the coming hockey season. "
