Holiday camps are a great opportunity to get some extra training as your player prepares for the 2 nd half of their season. With IHD we offer a camp combining skill and skating development along with fun scrimmages. Camp participants will learn from our highly skilled coaches while working on critical skills and can play games with fellow program participants! Each day of our camps will include dryland training, which we believe to be an important part of young athletes’ development. Hockey is an intense sport that requires speed, power, strength, and explosiveness; each player must develop well-rounded athletic skills off the ice that will transfer to success onto the ice. Camp participants will focus on hockey-specific athletic movements designed appropriately for each age group. Players will enjoy boxing, plyometrics, foot speed, strength, conditioning, and core and balance development. Our goal is to develop the complete athlete, both on and off Here is a link to register: https://www.impact-hockey.com/events/langley-winter-holiday-camp-u9-u15 As this is an IHD program, please contact IHD directly at admin@impacthockeydevelopment.com with any questions.

Huge congratulations to Eli Barrett and Ashton Thornton on being selected to represent British Columbia at the U16 WHL Cup this fall in Red Deer, AB. Eli and Ashton have grown up playing together at the BC Lightning since they were 6 years old. Eli wore the BCL jersey for six years and Ashton for five.  “I am extremely proud of these two kids, their dedication and focus on getting better each and every time they stepped on the ice since they were just 6 or 7 years old is inspiring. This past summer Ashton worked extremely hard on and off the ice, most days stopping pucks for both the IHD U20 and U18 development groups, as well as working out in the gym. Although I didn’t get a chance to work directly with Eli this past summer I know he also trained hard. Good luck boys, your BCL family will be watching and cheering you on.” said Coach Tim Preston.
