The sport of hockey is changing. The traditional approaches to teaching, playing and coaching of the sport have given way to new, innovative and creative techniques which both motivate and challenge the athlete. The CAN/AM HOCKEY GROUP is made up of college, university and professional players and coaches, physical education experts, motivational and sports psychologists, recreation specialists and sports researchers.
Through this network of professionals in hockey and higher education, CAN/AM has established a reputation throughout North America and Europe as the unparalleled leader in the field of hockey programming.

Our goal is very clear...to challenge the individual to reach his full potential as a hockey player. The CAN/AM experience takes place in an environment flexible enough to allow for differences in each individual, yet structured to provide a sense of direction. Our staff and unique locations reflect CAN/AM's aim to establish a strong relationship between hockey and education. Our programs are designed so that the player can move from one location to another and find that although the programs are varied, the goal and philosophy of each is the same... to challenge the hockey player to be the best that he/she can be!
Over the past 30 years CAN/AM has trained and developed many of North America's top athletes. Our graduates have progressed to play and coach at various colleges, universities and professional levels throughout the world!

An Integral Part of Every CAN/AM Youth Program
Hockey
can be taught effectively off the ice. The
CAN/AM Off-Ice Program will concentrate on team development, motivation,
fitness understanding, conditioning methods and the dryland teaching of
hockey skills. Learning proper positions on the breakout pattern by playing
soccer, proper checking positions while playing basketball, using hockey
rules or offensive zone patterns while playing team handball, learning
how to give and take a check with tumbling techniques, are all important
hockey learning experiences. Instructors will set the foundation off-ice
for on-ice application of those skills. CAN/AM encourages campers to bring
their in-line skates for supervised off-ice skating and hockey skill training.
CAN/AM is committed to providing the athlete with a complete understanding
of the relationship between fitness and performance.
Hockey is not a game of individuals but a game played by a group of individuals molded into a TEAM. The learning of what "TEAM" means is an important part of a developing hockey player. Depending on the uniqueness of each CAN/AM location you may find yourself as part of a team attempting to solve various problems that will take you through challenging obstacles, rappelling from ropes down an incline, struggling to get the entire team to the top of a structure or the challenges of a ropes course. You will learn the importance of such critical hockey team skills as desire, cooperation, trust, motivation and just plain hard work towards a common goal. This program is under the supervision of our special TEAM CHALLENGE staff and instruction is geared towards SAFETY as a priority.
Although hockey, both on and off the ice, is the focus at CAN/AM, there are times set aside for recreation in order to relax, have fun and take a break from the concentrated hockey program. Highly qualified Recreation professionals plan the supervised programs with the assistance of well trained counselors. These activities include swimming, basketball, volleyball, court games and field activities. Each day comes to a close with entertaining movies and relaxation with the staff.
