Spring Strength and Speed Camp

Elite camp for high-level players 2009 birth years and older. 2010 players will be considered on an individual basis.

Reset. Rework. Rebuild.

Our spring camp is the only elite spring camp of its kind in the region. Spring is the optimal time to rework your stride, rebuild speed and make big advances in strength. The long season often leaves players broken down with weight/muscle loss and bad skating habits. Time on the ice during spring should be minimal, but is necessary to ensure you come into tryouts and your summer training with a strong base and a head start on stride, speed and strength gains.

Players will spend on hour on the ice using revolutionary skating methods to improve technique and develop top-end speed and agility, incorporated into real game scenarios, followed by an hour in the gym with some of the finest strength and conditioning coaches in the rocky mountain region.

Formerly with the Colorado Avalanche, and now the University of Minnesota-Duluth Director of Hockey Performance, Chase Engdahl and Strength and Conditioning Coach Andy Howard will not only help you rebuild, but will assist you in building explosive speed and overall size and strength.

Last year in just six weeks, our skaters gain an average of 1/2 second faster in one-lap testing and .25 faster in the 90 ft. sprint, with 10 skaters achieving sub-13 second laps and 6 reaching NHL speed.
