Defenseman Skills Camp '26: CoEd 10-12yr
The Defenseman Skills Development Summer Camp: Mon - Fri, Aug 3 - 7, 2026.
Service Description
The Kellian Hockey Defense Skills Training Camp is designed for players aiming to enhance various aspects of skating, puck control, passing, and shooting, specifically tailored for developing defensemen. This Kellian Hockey summer camp places a strong emphasis on defenseman skills and techniques, focusing on deeper balance, high-tempo inside/outside edge control, explosive stops and starts, powerful crossovers, and proficient forwards and backward skating. The training includes skating drills with a puck, providing a significant emphasis on puck control. Many exercises and challenges involve working with a puck, allowing players to enhance their overall stick handling skills. This camp is designed primarily for defensemen who want to think faster, defend with confidence, and become the player their teammates trust in every situation. But it's not just for defensemen. Forwards who want to become more complete hockey players often leave this camp with an entirely new understanding of the game. By learning how defensemen read pressure, retrieve pucks, manage gaps, and start breakouts, forwards become smarter forecheckers, create more turnovers, support the puck more effectively, and learn how to attack defenders by understanding exactly what they're trying to accomplish. Don't let the title fool you. Every summer, forwards leave this camp saying they understand the game in a completely different way A typical day at camp... drop your kids off at the Stowe Arena for an off-ice stick handling clinic at 9:00 am.
