SUMMER CAMP FAQ’s
Why does Vancouver Hockey
School not offer FULL DAY camps?
Over the years we have found the true value in a weekly
hockey school is found not running around playing
games in a field or parking-lot but ON THE ICE. We structure
our camps as “time on task” without off-ice
“time fillers”. Our commitment to each parent and player is
to provide the highest instructional value in a limited
amount of time.
My child is really advanced for his age. Can he move up a
group?
We have a strict policy in having players skate above their
own age group. The majority of our camps focus heavily on
the individual skill of skating. Therefore, players can
develop and skate at their own pace within their own age
group. We find moving players to a
higher age group actually hinders their development as they
spend a majority of the class trying to “keep up” rather
then “developing” proper skating mechanics and general
hockey skills..
What is the
RIC location?
Richmond Ice Center located on #6 Rd in Richmond B.C.
Canada.
Are goalies present at your camps?

summer camps. If you are a goalie and would like to
participate, please contact Vancouver Hockey School.

registered?

$25.00 administration charge.
Where can I get a full schedule for the camp?
