Individualized Training Day Clinic

We are offering our most popular camp program, Individualized Training, as an on-ice only hockey clinic. CAN/AM is offering this unique program to only 20 skaters per group. Ten coaches will join each group for a 2:1 on ice ratio!  This unique ratio ensures this program is designed specifically for you and your needs.  Each ice time will be designed with you specifically in mind. Having trouble with backward crossovers to your left? Your coach can work with you. Weak slapshot? No problem as your coach takes you aside for your personalized instruction. Never really understood the “trap” but were afraid to ask? Here is a chance to pick your coach’s brain.

Don’t miss this exciting opportunity to work one-on-one with some of the best teachers in the game of hockey!
