Changes for 2012

We first want to thank everyone who attended the Sylvan Lake/Jasper Summer Hockey Camp, Sylvan Lake Goaltenders Camp, Sylvan Lake Conditioning Camp and the Sylvan Lake Women & Girls Camp.  We had a very successful summer and look forward to the summer of 2012.

Each year we look for changes to improve your hockey holiday experience and we've experimented with some and we are now in the process of finalizing all of the changes for the 2012 sessions.  As soon as the changes are set we will announce them on our website www.sylvanlakehockey.com and this blog.

We hope to have the changes ready by this fall and look forward to the Next Generation of Ultimate Hockey Holidays.  We think the changes we have in store for 2012 will make your Hockey Holiday even more enjoyable and we can't wait to share the changes with you.
