Some Parent Comments from the 2025 Programs

“Great camp with fantastic instructors. I feel that my son FINALLY learned correct hockey skills and drills. Thank you and see you next year!!!!”

“GREAT JOB!! I truly appreciate the high level of expectations and discipline that is consistent throughout this camp. This combined with the detailed and challenging instruction, sets this camp apart from others. Most camps, both hockey and other sports, lack the organization and attention to detail I have seen here.”

“[Our son] is a second year skater and six years old and he had a blast. He learned a ton about hockey but I’m more impressed with the life lessons. The discipline and rising to high expectations while accepting direct feedback will serve longer in life than the hockey lessons. He’s committed to coming back next year. Thank you and the staff so much for an amazing week! We are a huge fan of Next Level!!”

“I am incredibly grateful that I was able to attend and observe each day of camp. If I hadn’t come I would have missed all the magic. The balance between hard work and fun from every coach was perfect. It is easy for the coaches to see the difference they make for our kids on the ice, but I wanted to highlight the difference I see as a parent all around. The nicknames they give all the kids are so special and Big Z was thrilled about his! He has very few positive male role models in his life. To make a long story short and less sad, all of the coaches that worked with my son impacted him in the best way at the most crucial point of his life and I am incredibly grateful to all of them.”

“I wanted to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone involved in the camp. [Our daughter] is new to hockey and has truly poured herself into learning and growing in the sport. Her work ethic is strong, and it was so encouraging to see her come home each day both tired and excited to return the next morning. She really had a great time and absolutely loved it. This camp was exactly what she needed — a perfect balance of challenge, encouragement, and fun. It pushed her outside of her comfort zone in the best way and gave her a real boost of confidence on the ice. I’m not going to lie—seeing her carry the trophy and receive recognition for her hard work during Power Hour made me tear up. It meant so much to see her efforts noticed and celebrated.

Thank you all for your dedication to the sport and for teaching young athletes like [our daughter] not only about hockey, but also about hard work, grit, and perseverance. We’re so grateful.”

“Charlie (lead instructor) I hope this message makes it to you. I want to thank you for everything you’ve said and taught [our son] over the years. I have memories of you telling him to do pushups and him crying that he just couldn’t do it. You knelt down next to him at 5 years old and helped him through it. Before he left early on Friday for tryouts you wished him luck. He wanted me to let you know that he made the team. He will be playing for [AA Bantam team] this year. A team not easy to make and really not easy as a 1st year. He made it. I’ve watched over the years how much he has improved and mostly because of you. Your camp has been the best. Charlie you are the best coach and [our son] will forever be thankful. He will never forget the kind words you said as he was leaving Friday scared about this weekend. Thank you.”
