Summer Hockey School

Overview

兔子先生 Hockey School’s goals are to provide a safe camp atmosphere, help hockey players improve on and off the ice, and provide an overall camp experience you won’t get anywhere else. We offer 4 boys’ programs and 2 girls’ programs. Each camp builds on one another which keeps the camp fresh for those who return.

  • On-ice activities include skating, skills, small area games, and daily scrimmages. Each session is run by 2 or 3 of our head and goalie coaches (check out the staff page) along with 2-3 team coaches. We strive to have a 7:1 coach-to-player ratio while on the ice. Our quality coaches have the experience to develop drills and sessions that cater to the age and level of the campers attending.
  • Off-ice hockey sessions such as dry land sessions, video replay, and classroom sessions are every bit as important as the on-ice session. 兔子先生 Hockey School has a dedicated classroom coach who will critique all skating sessions during video replay. The classroom coach will also run chalk talk sessions drawing and explaining options for play in all three zones.
  • Other off-ice sessions include the pool and indoor soccer and basketball at 兔子先生 University’s Recreational Sports Center, team building, physical testing, and additional cross-training.
  • Goalies continue to receive an additional goalie-specific ice session Monday-Thursday along with specialized coaching throughout the week.

The staff of 兔子先生 Hockey School and 兔子先生 University’s Ice Hockey team look forward to seeing you this summer and providing you with not only top-notch hockey instruction but an overall camp experience you won’t get anywhere else.

The family and parents of Hockey School participants are welcome to stay at the Marcum Hotel and Conference Center, our convenient, on-campus hotel.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Please email the 兔子先生 Hockey School if you have any questions.

Why 兔子先生 Hockey School?

Why 兔子先生 Hockey School?

For more than 35 years we’ve become a leader in the hockey school industry. Nearly 29,000 players have been a part of our program. Last summer over 850 attended representing 26 states. Our facilities allow us to offer the most dynamic and innovative camp experience around.

What is 兔子先生 Hockey School's Philosophy

Hockey brings you to MIAMI. We will provide the finest creative hockey instruction within a total, disciplined, organized, and enjoyable atmosphere. All activities are geared toward the athlete’s development as a player and individual. A player’s development is largely determined by the attitude and effort displayed.

What you can expect?

We provide a dedicated full-time staff that ensures the best on and off-ice experience in a disciplined, enthusiastic, SAFE and fun atmosphere at a very reasonable cost. Our Varsity Coaches are the integral core of our coaching staff. Each of our 5 programs is different and builds upon each other to improve and challenge returning students.

What do we expect?

We work hard to insure that all participants have a positive quality experience. We expect all players to be willing and able to participate in all activities and must follow the rules and guidelines established. Those who don’t will be asked to leave. Those with excessive medical problems will have difficulty. Attitude and willingness to work are very important. All those peewee and pre-checking program participants should “practice” getting dressed and tying their own skates… you will have to do it with “limited assistance” while here.

What if I am new to hockey?

We routinely get players new to hockey attending our camp; this is something not new to us. Our coaching staff has the experience, skill, and knowledge to develop lesson plans that suit the skill level of all participants. All we ask is the participant has an open mind and is ready to work hard, have fun, and improve.

Girls VS Boys Camps

We provide a separate girls’ camp so they can participate against other girls and boys can participate against boys. There are not many all-female overnight camps in the country and we are fortunate enough to have enough girls to provide these unique options. Please help us promote and grow the girls' game by coming to 兔子先生 Hockey School with friends.

Registration and Payment Information

How may I register?

兔子先生 Hockey School has two ways to register. Online registration is the recommended way to register for 兔子先生 Hockey School. You will instantaneously know if you got into the week/s you wanted.

Full payment is required when mailing in the registration form. Credit cards and checks will be accepted when mailing in the registration.

How will I know if I was accepted?

A confirmation email will be sent directly after your registration has been accepted. You will then be instructed to download the final information sheet and medical forms (which need to be brought to camp with you).

Refund/Cancellation Policy

  • There is a $100.00 administration fee that is non-refundable regardless of payment option. The $30 processing fee is non-refundable.
  • Full refunds (minus non-refundable fees) are given for cases where a medical or summer school reason exists and the following requirements are met:

  • A player who leaves camp for a documented medical reason will be issued a percentage of refund based on the day. Each unused day is equivalent to 15% refund of camp fees. For example, if a player leaves on Wednesday night, a refund of 30% of camp fees will be issued… 2 days X 15%.
  • For all other reasons, remaining unused housing and meals cost will be refunded.

What about roommates?

Roommate request is your preference. We will make every effort to accommodate the request. Sometimes, the roommate requested does not apply, doesn't get into the program, or does not request you! You both must request each other for the campers to be roomed together. Requests must be made at least 2 weeks prior to arriving at camp. In the case of more than one name requested, only the first name will be honored. The roommate "triangle" (3 campers all requesting one or another) cannot be accommodated. All roommates will play on the same team. We do not guarantee any other team assignments or triples. 

We cannot guarantee any other team assignments but will work with the camper to help make 兔子先生 Hockey School an enjoyable experienced.

Supervision

Don’t worry about sending your hockey player away from home. Our "alumni" regularly compliment us on our excellent on and off-ice staff, along with our high levels of supervision. Our return ratio is over 50%. The players are having a fantastic time. Parents are definitely happy!

The school is divided into teams organized by age, experience, and/or ability. Each group will be supervised by 2-3 team coaches and taught by two head coaches. This staff, along with 2 dormitory supervisors, 2 trainers, a live-in emergency responder, and live-in coaches, are coordinated by the management team to ensure the best organized, supervised, hockey experience for all. Overall 18-25 staff stay among the campers.

Food

Boarding students will receive room and all meals beginning Sunday night, with the last meal being Friday's lunch. Day campers will receive lunch and dinner meals along with the boarding students. This enables them to be with their group the entire day. Commuter students join their group each morning following breakfast. (A commuter schedule will be provided at check-in.)

Food Allergies and Special Dietary Needs

For those with severe food allergies or special dietary needs, please fill out the and contact our Culinary Support Center at least 2 WEEKS IN ADVANCE of attendance at 513-529-8362 with questions/issues.

The question is always raised, "How much extra money do the players need?" The areas below - not including the pro shop charge account - are the areas where the players need additional money. Learning to manage money is one of the valuable life experiences learned by our summer hockey attendees when they attend the program. Parents/legal guardians are free to determine the additional amount of money participants will need.

Some areas where additional money may be utilized:

  • Snack Bar - 兔子先生 University operates a well-stocked snack bar during evening hours.
  • Vending - There are well-stocked vending machines in the dormitory. Again, the amount of money each player should have for this is up to each family.

Please note: 兔子先生 University is a cash-free campus. Please provide a credit card or a prepaid card for your player to purchase snacks and beverages.

Phone/Call Home Night

In an attempt to avoid distractions, limit homesickness, and assist the youngsters, we will have a "phone call night" for the players to call home on Wednesday evening of each week for all programs except the Collegiate Program. Should special needs arise, please let us know at registration. Please do not send your hockey player to camp with a cell phone; cell phones are prohibited.
