I have many options to choose
from when it comes to a summer hockey school experience. Why should I
choose The "OV" Hockey School?
Knowledge, Passion, Work Ethic, Experience, and Fun! The "OV" Hockey
School is built on quality instruction. All family members have enjoyed successful
hockey careers and, more importantly, are superb instructors. We pride ourselves
in producing a high speed, high intensity, and high-energy hockey experience.
We have created a curriculum and teaching syllabus that has been carefully designed
using a progressive ‘Total Skills Development Training Model’.
It is our goal to create drills that challenge our students, effectively
utilize the ice surface, build off a progression, and are fun. We are all truly
passionate about hockey and, more importantly, your development as a person.
If you are looking for the "complete" hockey experience while being
pushed beyond your comfort zone…The "OV" Hockey School is for you!

What is the general skill level of your summer camps?
Our camps are challenging, intense, competitive, and fun. The majority of our youth
students (mite – midget) have experience playing at the travel/elite level.
Our Adult Camps are open to all skill levels. All camp participation is at the
sole discretion of The "OV" Hockey School staff.

Who will be the instructors on and off the ice during the week?
The "OV" Hockey School prides itself in its camp instruction.
We do our very best to have four Head Instructors (Paul, Misha, Anthony, and Matt Donskov)
on (and off) the ice at all times. This ratio along with small group sizes and
participants segmented based on skill allows us to maintain a low student/instructor
ratio and effectively teach and motivate your son/daughter. We are proud of our team
and the passion, energy, and experience we bring to each camp. Outstanding
qualifications, a strong work ethic, and a genuine concern for teaching and
promoting the game of hockey to our athletes, are all characteristics of
The "OV" Team.

Do you offer Dryland Training?
Dryland Training will be a component of all "OV" camps. Training is
hockey specific and functional in nature. We follow an Integrated
Training Continuum focusing on stabilization, strength, and explosive
power to properly train our athletes. The progression, complexity, and
speed of our off-ice training programs are dependent on the age and
skill level of our participants. The "OV" Hockey School is proud to
partner with Donskov Strength and Conditioning, Inc. enabling our team to deliver
exceptional off-ice programs. Students are encouraged to wear light
breathable clothing, bring running shoes, and come prepared to train
hard!

What is The "OV" Cup?
The last day of each camp participants play for the prestigious "OV" Cup.
The "OV" Cup is regarded as a prized piece of hardware and serves as
extra incentive and ‘bragging rights’ to those who are fortunate enough
to win it. Each winning team hoists the cup followed by team pictures, a victory lap,
and time in the dressing room with players, friends, and parents.
Will you be the next team member to hoist this cherished piece of hardware?

My son/daughter is a goalie. Will they receive any training?
We strive to design our curriculum and practice plans around keeping
our goaltenders active and engaged in all training sessions. Goaltenders will
take part in power skating and conditioning exercises while working on
balance, agility, quickness, and hand eye coordination. Each goaltender
will receive individual attention and will see plenty of shots throughout
the course of the week.
