Youth Hockey Camp Openings Conway Arena, Nashua June 26-July 1
24 Hours, 6 Days, 4 Hours/Day... The Good Get Better!
Strong Dynamics Hockey Summer BrochureWe understand that the kids love to play in summer league games but consider the cost-benefit and value of these from a training perspective compared to our Strong Dynamics Hockey Camp. In a league with games for 10 weeks the family still has to drive to a rink 10 times and wait for the hour. The player will touch the ice for about 12 minutes each game, so over the course of the 10 weeks the player is skating about 120 minutes or 2 hours, and touching the puck a small fraction of this time. If you paid $150 for a 10-week game schedule, YOU JUST PAID $75 PER HOUR for your child to skate in games with no training.
Compare this to our camp which costs $550 for 24 hours of ice or $22.92/hour, over 6 days. You will make only 6 trips to the rink (with a 5-hour layover so you can go off to work or home while your child trains) and your child will train with coaches for 24 hours on ice. Really, there is no comparison.
Ask yourself which player will improve the most, the one training for 24 hours on ice with individual attention from professional coaches, or the one skating, without instruction, for 2 hours? Which program do you think is the better value? Which program will have the least wear-and-tear on your family schedule? Which program will truly jump start your player's summer training and fast-track him or her to a higher level of play? As the parent of five hockey players I know the answer... and I am sorry to say I learned it the hard way! I'd love to have all the money back that I wasted on ineffective hockey programs. It would come in handy today in this economy. I probably wouldn't have a mortgage! No one told me, back then, and so I had to learn for myself, through trial and error, where to find value for my hockey dollar.
Yes, games are important but hockey is much more fun when you know how to play and know how to skate well. THERE ARE NO SHORTCUTS. Savvy hockey parents understand the value of an undiluted program with progressive hockey training where your player will get the most out of his or her time spent training, and you, the hard-working parents, will truly get the most bang for your hockey buck!
We agree, spend what you can afford for hockey, and when you do spend money for hockey, make sure you are getting good value for your dollar and not just the lowest price. Choose the program that will cost the least in the long haul... and it is a long, very long haul!
