North Regina Hockey Camp

    At the North Regina Hockey Camp, we believe that a great season is the result of conditioning and preparation! With small class sizes, 12 hours of ice time and qualified instructors, your child will be conditioned, prepared and ready to begin the season. 

    The North Regina Hockey Camp began in 1973.  It was established in coordination with the Normanview, Coronation, Regent Park, Uplands and Argyle Park Community Associations.  

     The camp is designed to provide an opportunity for boys and girls to develop and improve their hockey skills by providing specialized instruction by qualified and experienced coaches.   Instruction will emphasize a variety of age appropriate skills such as forwards & backwards power skating, passing & receiving, puck control, shooting, checking, systems position, goaltending and conditioning.  A maximum of 4 goaltenders is permitted in each session.
