Pro Ambitions Hockey Camps have been selected to be featured on the
innovative and education television series, Competitive Edge, to appear
on ESPN, ESPN2 and TSN (canada), for an audience of over 70 million viewers.
There
is nothing like the thrill of the ice. While some young hockey fans
sit at home as television spectators, others are lacing up their skates
and preparing to take their love of the game to the next level. Competitive
Edge recognizes Pro Ambitions for helping young players develop their
confidence, skills and that perfect slap shot.
After breaking the all-time
American Hockey League (AHL) record for leading scoring by a defenseman
and winning the Eddie Shore Award for Best AHL Defenseman, Pro Ambitions
founder, Jeff Serowik was at the top of his game. However, after an amazing
ten
year pro career, an injury ended his rein in 1999. But after 25 years
on the ice, the sport was in his blood. Today he continues to keep that
thrill alive as a teacher and mentor. Eleven years ago, Jeff set out
to reach kids - the potential, FUTURE NHL players - and help them achieve
the dream he had lived. The first Pro Ambitions summer camp has expanded
to 75 camps each year nationally and internationally and offers young
hockey players the opportunity of a lifetime.
Students will get advice
from the best on how to be the best. Pro and College Division 1 players
and coaches will go beyond the basics and show campers how to have the
edge they need to succeed.
With a student/teacher ratio at 3:1 or 4:1, campers are able to get
the professional, personalized attention
they need to hone their skills and find their niche. From skating,
shooting and checking to team building
and mental focus, each player will come away with solid skills
and strategies that will improve their play
forever.
Film crews will be at several Pro Ambitions Hockey Camps this
summer filming the special, which is
scheduled to appear on ESPN in 2004.
