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.

Oly Hicks


This season Oly moved to Europe to be a Head Coach of the Italian Professional club, SSI Vipiteno-WSV Sterzing. The Broncos won the Italian Championship.

Previous to Europe, Hicks was the Assistant Director of Athletics and Associate Coach for Manhattanville College, NY (NCAA). Hicks spent 7 years in NY which ended with an amazing 4 year run that saw Manhattanville continually ranked in the top 10, and reach 4 consecutive NCAA tournaments. While at Manhattanville, Hicks was instrumentally in recruiting top freshman classes that featured talent from around the world.

Hicks' coaching career began as his playing days in Europe ended. He spent his last 3 season in Austria as a player-coach before moving full-time to the Banff Hockey Academy, in Banff Alberta, Canada. As the Assistant Director and Coach at the BHA, Hicks was part of a very successful program that featured talented young players from all over North America, Europe and Asia. Oly has been apart of MIHS of Canada for the last 5 years and will be heavily involved in our June programs around Alaska.
