The Teaching Philosophy:

The staff of the St. Lawrence University Summer Hockey School is dedicated to teaching the fundamental skills and aspects of the game of hockey. We will not drill the students attending our hockey school, but will teach them in groups ands as individuals to make them better hockey players and help them enjoy their camp experience. In addition to the members of the Saint Hockey staff, several current and former Saint players will be on hand to assist in both the on-ice and off-ice programs
