Individualized Training Day Camp
We’re excited to offer our highly popular Individualized Training program as a day program. This unique opportunity is available to only 20 skaters per group, with 10 coaches providing an exceptional 2:1 on-ice ratio. This ratio ensures that every session is tailored to meet your specific needs. Struggling with backward crossovers? Your coach will give you personalized guidance. Weak slapshot? Your coach will work with you one-on-one to improve. Never fully understood the “trap” but were too hesitant to ask? Now’s your chance to gain in-depth insights directly from your coach.
Hosted at Thayer Sports Center in Braintree, MA, this program offers a tailored experience, building on the success of CAN/AM’s renowned Individualized Training approach.

What to Bring
It is a good idea to try on all hockey equipment prior to leaving for camp to ensure that it still fits (especially your skates). We have a fully equipped pro shop available in case you need new equipment or sharpening. However, you should remember that if new skates are required, they should be purchased and broken in before camp. The hockey clinic is not the right place for breaking in a new pair of skates.
