The City of Guelph and the University of Guelph offer the finest training facilities in Canada! This area of Ontario is steeped in hockey tradition. Over the years some of the top professional players in North America and Europe have developed in this "hot-bed" of hockey talent.
Our home, the University of Guelph, has one of the most outstanding ice facilities in the country. Its twin arena offers both Olympic and Regulation size ice surfaces. The STARS residence is a 2 minute walk to the arena facility. The living quarters are totally self contained, offering carpeted rooms, game rooms and lounges, lecture facilities, cafeteria, tuck shop and pro shop. The nearby athletic facilities are convenient for dryland training and recreation activities including swimming, in-line skating, soccer, ball games, Power Hour, Team Challenge and much more.
Guelph is conveniently located in the heart of the most highly developed region in Canada, just 45 miles west of Toronto, 180 miles from Detroit and 90 miles from Buffalo. Major airlines service Toronto on a regular basis. If you are a one week camper and want to qualify for an air-fare discount that requires a Saturday night stay, just choose our Stayover option and depart from Camp on Sunday. An available shuttle service connects Guelph with Toronto International Airport less than 45 miles away. STARS staff will personally meet the campers' flights and ensure that their connection is made.

Learn to execute the wrist shot, snapshot, slapshot, rebound and backhand shot. Repetition of these skills every day through innovative drills will make you a stronger, faster skater and a real offensive threat!

The smart player knows when to use a body check versus a poke check or a sweep check. Learn the strategy and mechanics behind the ability to secure possession of the puck from your opponent. These skills are necessary from Mite to Midget and High School play. Checking strategy relates to how smart you are in your movement on the ice as a forward or a defenseman. Scoring techniques will include working on every type of shot, to improve both your strength and accuracy. Learning and practicing both of these skills each day will make you a smarter and more effective player with and without the puck!

player in the sport. STARS has developed the most innovative goaltending
program in North America, one that will significantly increase your ability

but rather they analyze your style and work with you on an individual
basis to improve your moves in the net, not change them.
