SKATING, SHOOTING & GOALTENDING 

​

We're excited to announce that we'll be returning for our fifth year of programs in Colorado this summer! With Dobson Arena in Vail closed for renovations, we'll be heading to three new rinks this year.

 

Under the direction of former NHL scouting director Toby O'Brien, each program features pro, NCAA, prep, and junior coaches. These three-day specialized camps are focused on three specific aspects of the game: skating, shooting, and goaltending.

 

Our trademark skating program is a step-by-step, "how to" program focusing on each individual and the physical attributes needed to maximize your skating. Our shooting program is led by Nick DelGallo, a shooting specialist who was one of the first coaches in the U.S. to begin teaching the new techniques that tie in with the technology in today's sticks and equipment. Our goaltending program is led by former St. Norbert College captain/goaltender Evi Johnson, a longtime OverSpeed Hockey instructor and Minnesota Hockey goalie consultant. ​​
