This European Style AA Prep Camp is crafted to mirror training for athletes in Ukraine and Russia.

Coach Andrii led private training in Ukraine for 8 years prior to joining us in Aberdeen and was coach of U13 Ukraine Selects champion of their season.

Designed to set a healthy foundation for the season. Off Ice conditioning sessions ( weather permitted) will be outdoors where athletes build their strength for on ice. It is preparation for conditioning, power, quickness and endurance. As Off ice conditioning continues in the weeks of this camp, skating is introduced, building the skaters confidence up and tying in speed and endurance which was practiced off ice. The second week of being on ice will build on the skating with shooting components. Stretching after Off Ice Conditioning is something Andrii believes brings longevity in an athletes performance for optimal muscle health and to prevent injuries throughout their hockey career. His hopes is that learning these stretches will become a standard each player takes throughout their seasons.
