We guarantee to give defensemen a hockey experience that will change their game forever. With the massive expansion of Pro Ambitions Hockey, Inc. it is difficult to have Jeff as the head on ice instructor for the entire week of camp. Jeff will be pulling out all the stops and opening up his bag of tricks at this one. As mentioned in other parts of the website, the Pro Ambitions copyrighted curriculum that has been sold to youth hockey organizations nation-wide had never included a section on Jeff's D-camps. He has too much knowledge to be passed on about being a "mule" that he keeps it exclusive to teaching himself.

Areas we will address in this camp:

Powerskating, quick feet, agility, pivoting, cross-overs, balance, Gap control all over the ice (most important part of the game) 1 v1’s, 2v 1’s, 2 v 2’s, All break out options, Puck control, shooting (various shooting drills in all areas of offensive zone), Passing, neutral zone d to d passing (hinge), front of net coverage, we will also bring out many of our signature battle camp drills, pinching, checking, angling, communication skills, shot-blocking, small area defensive fun games.

Players will play offense and defense in this camp. With the new rules defenseman need to be creative, need to handle the puck and need to have good skills.

Forwards you will get just as much out of this as defense.

"Jake has attended your camps the last two years in Tahoe...this summer he is bringing 4-7 of his teammates with him to the Tahoe camp in July.

Jake loved your camps, and has really bragged about you and the camp, so they all can't wait to come!"

Thanks Jeff,

"My 16 year old son attended your camp as a boarder at the Vernon, NJ site. He came back a changed player. He was good before, but you brought his game to a new level. Camp ended on Friday and he had a game Saturday and Sunday. In Saturday's warm-ups I could see the difference. It was strange, but I could tell something was different. More confident, a harder shot, poised and in control.  In Sunday's game,he scored  from the point on a hard , well-placed slapshot, and just missed another goal on another point shot that he confidently  drew off the boards on the right side(he's a righty).  When I asked him about the goal, he replied,"Jeff told us where to place the puck on that shot". I have been hearing a lot of "Jeff told us..." lately.
Thank you so much for delivering on what you promised. "
