A Camp Staff Goal is to focus on each player as a person.
To us, it is ALWAYS PERSON over the player.
Players need to be able to think. Too much structured and detailed mechanics in practices and games causes players outputs to not matter as much because they are institutionalized for years on skill development, fancy highlight reel goals, and structured play.
For this camp only, the kids will be split up in an upper and lower-level team and play in 1 Tournament (Northern Exposure Duluth, MN July 21,22, 23 2023, Weekend) "A player may opt out" Tournament fee and jersey included in price.

“Westin Michaud and the staff at NHDA were a huge help to me in preparing for the Division 1 Level. Through cutting edge training methods and one-on-one attention, my speed, agility, and Hockey IQ vastly improved!"
BOBBY METZ ( COLGATE UNIVERSITY D1)
“NHDA's dedication to training on and off the ice helped me take my game to a higher level. Our moto was hard work + dedication = results. NHDA excelled at both while training me.”
NICK TROUTWINE (NAHL)
All of the coaches are extremely attentive, personable, approachable and excellent motivators. I didn't have a place to play after high school and Coach Michaud helped me find a spot in the NAHL with El Paso. NHDA is my home away from home and the members and coaches are like family.
