Group Notes
If you are a skilled '2nd year' player moving UP next season, you may register for your 'Group' as of next season. For Example, a skilled 2nd year Squirt (this season) moving up to Peewees next season, may register for the Peewee Group.

Exceptions

  • New players - if you are relatively new to hockey, you may elect to skate 'down' if that adds to your comfort level.
  • Skilled players - skilled players may elect to skate 'up' a level.
  • Siblings - siblings on the age or skill 'bubble' my elect to move up or down, for schedule convenience.
  • Convenience - if for transportation or scheduling reasons, deviating one level from the above grid helps, this will be allowed.
  • Friends - if you would like to join a group of your friends, you may deviate one level from the above grid.

Player Notes

  • We welcome players that are READY for Camp.
  • We believe strongly that a player should WANT to be at camp and should be hungry to improve their skills. If that's the case...you're at the right place! Players who are READY to have fun and to learn at Planet Hockey will greatly improve their hockey skills, their love of the game and will learn effective and efficient training methods that will dramatically accelerate their future hockey development...Guaranteed!
  • Young Players - Our philosophy:  The sooner the better, assuming a player is 'ready' (attention span, etc.).
  • We welcome players ages 6 & older assuming they have some hockey experience.
  • Our fun, creative & structured syllabus & skilled instructors will keep players actively involved.

Skill Level

  • We welcome all skill levels. Players ages 6-8 should have at least limited hockey experience.
  • For players that are new to hockey and who plan to join us this summer, we recommend getting as much ice time as possible prior to camp to familiarize the player with their gear, skates and to develop basic hockey confidence. We'll take it from there...
