Arena Facilities - (Sports Center of Connecticut)
The Sports Center of Connecticut is the world’s only double decker facility featuring two NHL sized rinks. This amazing facility also offers a variety of fun activities for families and friends: driving range, mini-golf, batting cages, laser tag, bowling and target paintball.
Day Clinic Format
The Individualized Training Day Clinic will be comprised of 2 daily on ice sessions and an off-ice learning component. Additionally, the group will try their hand at 1 of the many fun activities available on site at the Sports Center (see list above). Specific times, locations, and procedures for arrival and pick up will be shared about a week prior to the program start. To ensure proper sanitation, equipment bags will not be stored in the arena overnight. Campers will be responsible to carry out their own equipment.
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). Blue Line Sports is fully equipped pro shop located at the Sports Center and 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.
