DEFENCE CAMP
Sunday to Friday Full Day Camp
Your opponent has danced through your line mates. You’re the last player left. Close your gap. Match his pace… Can you stop him?
The focus of this camp, both on and off the ice, is to teach players the individual skills and tactics required to become a better defensive player and defenceman. A valuable skill-set in today’s game for both a forward and defenceman.
The Defence Camp provides all players (Forwards and Defence), aged 11-15, the opportunity to improve the defensive side of their game, while also enhancing skating agility, mobility and puck skills. Age groupings for this camp will be: 11/12, 13-15.

During my three years in Penticton, OHA was influential in my growth as a student, an athlete, and most importantly a person. Their overwhelming support made the city feel like home and the community feel like family. It was truly a first class experience, in an elite program that has prepared me for my time in university and any future endeavors."
