Hockey Canada Skills Development Camps

“I get to work with Q, Trotsy (Barry Trotz), Claude Julien and Bill Peters at this World Cup, and to me, being the best at what you do is embracing lifelong learning and getting better every day. Some people would think that’s a burden. To me, that’s where the joy is. That’s where the fun is. It’s what makes life good.”  - Mike Babcock on always improving.

Hockey is back! And the OMHA is providing great development opportunities for Players and Coaches.

The OMHA, in conjunction with Hockey Canada, are offering Hockey Canada Skills Development Camps across Ontario during the 2016-2017 season.

These camps are a one-day event open to boys and girls playing in the Novice to Bantam divisions (2002 - 2008 birthdays). The primary objective of the camp is to provide a vehicle for players and coaches to enhance development of fundamental skills required to play the game of hockey in a safe and fun environment.
