Medical Supervision

There will be medical / athletic training coverage 24/7 from the start through the end of each camp, clinic and event. Hockey Fun hires Certified Athletic Trainers who will be on site during all hockey moments and trainers will stay in the dorms for full services.

In order to assist each camper with an excellent overall experience, we encourage all participants to stay hydrated (water, Gatorade), use their down time to relax and nap, and check in with a Coach, Counselor or Certified Athletic Trainer when they do not feel well in order to practice the Hockey Fun philosophy: "better to prevent than to cure."
