Hockey Director's Note - Holiday Special

Hello RoughRiders' Family,

With the Holiday break upon RoughRiders Hockey Club I want to take a moment and say thank you and Happy Holidays to all of our coaches, volunteers, players, families, and everyone that has assisted in any way to make the first half of the season a good start. It does not matter the size of the contribution by all of you, as every little bit of energy and effort to assist in our improvement and growth as an organization has made a difference.  

If you are looking for a camp to do next week I encourage you to explore the PEP camp listed below. The camp is led by, Chad Remakel, who has been at all of our RRHC camps thus far and will assist in our Academy teams and camps this spring and summer.

House Hockey - RYHL & IP

The next RoughRiders Youth Hockey League (RYHL) and Instructional Program (IP) starts on January 7th, 2019. Be sure to get registered before January 1, 2019 to avoid the late registration fee. We have also ordered RRHC jerseys for the Instructional Program that I hope hat they arrive before the start of the program session. 

If you have not returned your RYHL jersey please do so when you are at the rink next. Our ability to maintain and retain these jerseys allows for us to keep our operating costs down, which in turns, keeps our prices down.

Summer Camps
The RRHA camps are led by Hockey Director, Dustin Timm, in conjunction with a coaching staff assembled from around the state. RRHA is designed to offer high-end instruction for individual skills and game concepts. These camps are not for the beginning player, but rather the player that can skate up and down the rink on their own.
Sniper and Scoring Camp

Birth Years: 2010 or older
Description: The Sniper and Scoring camp will focus on the fundamentals of scoring and being able to snipe. However, the game of hockey is won in between the dots. Drills will focus on players being able to get into the middle of the ice and playing under pressure. This camp will focus on positional and individual skills that will make a player more confident and an offensive threat.
Speed & Power Skating Camp
Dates: July 8-10, 2019
Birth Years: 2010 or older

Defense Skills Camp
Dates: July 15-17, 2019

The game of hockey is faster than ever, the players are bigger and stronger than ever, and the best can create time and space using deception, dangling, and dekes. This camp will provide fundamentals on how to use these fakes in game like scenarios and small area games on rushes and in the corners.
