Lake Tahoe is the perfect west coast location for my ever popular Defense w/Jeff camp. The real deal with Jeff all to yourself for the 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 our most popular camp so we have added strategic locations around the US so Jeff could reach out to more potential “Mules”. The intimacy of the small group while spending the week with Jeff will make for a lifetime memory.

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.

  • The first part of the adventure is simply getting there! The 2.4-mile ride up the mountainside in the Gondola is one trip you'll never forget. The eight-passenger cabins take guests 2.4 miles up the mountain in 12 minutes while they enjoy views of Lake Tahoe.
