Minnesota Special Hockey is offering a pre-season Hockey Camp for registered players. This camp is a skating and skill based program preparing players for the upcoming season. Each session might end with some sort of a game, but more than likely will not be a typical scrimmage.
Goalies will be part of this camp and will have specific goalie related training and coaching.
We may or may NOT have enough volunteers to provide one on one support. If you require this support please work with your team to line up a volunteer.
You must be fully registered with MN Special Hockey for the upcoming 2022-2023 season in order to attend this camp. There will be no exceptions!
