Hockey Canada in partnership with Hockey NL will be returning to Newfoundland and Labrador this summer for their annual Hockey Canada Summer Skills Development Camp. The camp will run from August 18th – 23rd, 2019 in Mount Pearl at the Glacier Arena.

Built on the model of the very successful Hockey Canada Skills Development Camp program, which have been taking place throughout the country for the past twenty-two seasons, the camp will offer minor hockey players in the Novice, Atom and Pee Wee categories the opportunity to be a member of “Team Canada & Team NL” for six days. Over the six-day camp, participants will take part in a variety of on-ice and off-ice activities aimed at skill development with an emphasis on having FUN. 

Registration will be divided into three separate divisions with 30 Players and 4 Goalies per division:

  • Novice Division (2011 & 2012)
  • Atom Division (2009 & 2010) 
  • Pee Wee Division (2007 & 2008)

Following the first round of registration, each division of all registered participants will be entered into a lottery/number selection to determine if they will receive a spot in the 2018 summer camp.
