We offer 2 weeks of Official Development Camp. Programming in both camps is identical and led by 1900+ NHL game veteran and Lead Officials Instructor, Brad Lazarowich and Camp Alumni Graedy Hamilton (NHL official), and Logan Parsons (AHL official). Much of the learning takes place through implementation of concepts, practice, and real time feedback during live games. Games officiated in Week 1 are played by our High Performance Female participants from U13 to Varsity. Week 4 games officiated are played by our High Performance Male Camp participants from U13 to Junior. Exposure at our camps give all participants exposure to next level opportunities from the CSSHL, BCHL, and beyond!
