Our Goal
To provide a high intensity camp for elite hockey players preparing for the upcoming travel season. The camp will provide youth hockey players the opportunity to train for the upcoming season in a college and professional hockey-like manner. Not only should players count on getting into peak season shape, but players will also leave the camp with an increased understanding of the training techniques and methods used by Junior, College and Professional Athletes.
Who we are
YouthHockeyOnline, a branch of Adirondack Ad Specialties was founded in 2004 with the intent of providing Youth Hockey Players across the country with online tips, drills, stories, and more information.
What makes this an Elite Camp
Simple, 99% of hockey camps across the country are made up of players with a large array of talent levels. This means that drills must be basic so that they are able to include first year players through AAA players. All of the players attending our clinic have a strong hockey background enabling us to run a camp with advanced drills designed to challenge even the top players.
Counselors
While other camps and clinics in the area are staffed by high school kids, the YouthHockeyOnline Elite Clinic will be staffed by College Hockey Players.
Positional Training
Goalie Coaches will be on hand to work with the goaltenders, as well as forward coaches to work with the forwards and defensive coaches to work with the defenseman.
