DEFENSEMAN WITH JEFF SEROWIK

The real deal with Jeff all to yourself for the entire week. This is an awesome opportunity for all defensemen and forwards who are interested in exploring becoming a "mule" as Jeff calls the D-men. Jeff himself was a forward up until prep school. Think about that! This is a specialty camp that will be conducting only a couple of times per summer and is designed to give defensemen/forwards a hockey experience that will change their game forever. With the massive expansion of Pro Ambitions Hockey, Inc. it is really difficult to have Jeff as the head on ice instructor for the entire week of camp. Last summer we introduced this camp in select locations and it was an immediate sell out/cancellation wait list situation. Jeff had so much fun and found this camp so rewarding that we are offering it in a few more locations and as additional weeks to our boarding camp locations at Boston University and Kents Hill School in Maine. The intimate group setting with Jeff is unbeatable. He pulls out all the stops and opens up his full bag of tricks.

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.
