Description: This camp focuses on defensive skills and tactics, as well as the purpose behind certain decisions.  Both offensive and defensive zone skills will be discussed and practiced.  This camp is obviously great for all defensemen, but all players can benefit from learning what, and why, their defensive teammates are doing what they're doing.  Because defensemen are consistently transitioning, and need to do so efficiently and effectively, agility and edge work will be a big focus.
