Hockey Camps in Newfoundland

Attending hockey camp during the summer or other vacation time can improve your game immensely. Hockey camps combine interactive drills, dry-land exercises and controlled scrimmage to help players develop their hockey bodies and minds. The Canadian province of Newfoundland is home to dozens of hockey camps and summer programs. Camps are available for all age and skill levels, and there are even camps exclusively for goalies.

  1. Shoot for Excellence

    • Shoot for Excellence offers a variety of different camps throughout Newfoundland for players of all levels. Choose between four different weekend spring and summer camps that specialize in specific aspects of hockey such as power skating, shooting, puck control and passing. Most of these sessions are two hours long and include a short 10-minute snack break during which the ice is also resurfaced. Shoot for Excellence also offers a more general skill development camp the last week in July that includes two daily on-ice sessions, lecture and video sessions and an all-camp skills competition. All of these camps take place in the town of Corner Brook on the west coast of Newfoundland island.
