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.
