Week Camps
Toronto, Ontario
Defense First takes pride in developing young talent, and paving the way to the NHL. Although this five day camp is advertised as an "invitation only" camp, we are accepting applicants through our "CONTACT" or our "ENROLL" section. If you currently compete at an elite level and are serious about your pursuit of a career in hockey, this is the camp that can truly answer the question, "What does it take?"
Defense First has distinguished itself as an advanced approach to developing the Complete Hockey Player. A player that not only possesses the raw skills necessary to move through the ranks but also the mental skills and hockey knowledge to truly make the most of their talent and excel to their highest potential. As head instructors, our careers have led us through the minor hockey world and onto the best professional leagues in the world and we feel priveleged to work with young, talented individuals, that have the open minds necessary to take their game to a new level. We attended summer hockey schools as kids (both good and bad), and we understand the value of your time and commitment. We can assure you that we have molded a camp designed to maximize the learning process and leave players with a much greater understanding of the game and what it takes to take your game to the next level... and beyond. "Don't just play the game, THINK the game"
