My two cents worth: I would encourage all to attend if possible. We have attended virtually all of the MIHS camps offered in Soldotna since mites, and have found them worthwhile, and fun, and "game day" at the conclusion is a blast. I think it is also important for the kids to get exposure to varied drills and coaching and instruction styles. No matter what skill level a player is at, my own observation is that most of them get motivated in these camps.

Some people think that the camps are for the elite player only...that is not the case. Brad has done an excellent job of accomodating players at different skill levels and giving them meaningful experience.

Let's support MIHS. You are not going to find a better camp for the price, and right in our own back yard.

Goaltending Camp Curriculum


One of the most challenging things to see is where each goaltender's knowledge and skill level is at. Do they play a modern style or more vintage? Our staff goes into every session with an open mind. Our goal is to keep each student focused, motivated, and extremely busy. Our head instructor Kevin Reiter uses the following camp curriculum: Kevin Reiter - Goaltending Instructor

Mites
  1. Skating while always using a visual lead
    • Shuffle, T-Push, sculling (backside and front side)

The MIHS of Canada Staff enjoys students who work hard and smart at every drill. There is always a rhyme to the reason with every drill each student is asked to perform. Questions are always encouraged by the students and parents. Our private goaltending sessions will provide each student a detailed breakdown report on improvement opportunities as well as recognition. Off ice sessions include stick and glove work, plyometrics, cardio drills, and some off ice fun! Space is limited in all sessions! Don't miss out on our Goaltending Camps!
