The Eagle Sky Estevan Bruins are looking forward to the return of their annual Hockey School this summer, August 11-15 and 18-22.
A staple of the Bruins’ summer schedule, the Hockey School offers children and youth a unique opportunity to hone their skills and make new friends through a range of on and off-ice drills, games and activities, with instruction provided by Bruins’ coaches and players.

“The Bruins Hockey School is a great kick-starter for the new season and a great experience for up-and-coming hockey players,” Bruins Head Coach and G.M., Drew Kocur said.
“It’s a great two weeks that we look forward to every year. It will be upbeat, working on a ton of different skills throughout the week, leading up to a final game on the last session of the week.”
While this will be Kocur’s first year at the helm as Head Coach for the Hockey School, he brings a wealth of experience working with young players on skill development to help take their game to the next level.
For the last two years, Kocur has run the Bruins’ morning Breakfast Club Program which features 36 on-ice sessions for kids to hone their skills during the season in the mornings before school. He’s also hosted his own Kocur Skills Camp for six years, working with players from the U18 to Junior and Major Junior levels.
HOCKEY SCHOOL DETAILS:
Week 1: Aug. 11-15:
This is the Traditional Hockey Camp experience and is available for children and youth ages U7, U9, U11, U13 and U15.
Age groups U9-through-U13 will have a full days’ worth of activities, while U7 and U15 (due to fewer traditional demand) have one hour of ice time on the Affinity Place ice.
COST U9-U13: $577.50 | U7/U15: $150.15
Week 2: (Individualized) Aug. 18-22:
The Individualized Skills Camp is available for ages U9, U11 and U13 with a focus on more specific-to-each-participant skill development.
The difference with the Individualized skills camp is that it offers a chance for campers to work on the specific skills they want to take to the next level along with more one-on-one coaching due to smaller group sizes.
Whether your child is looking to develop a more efficient skating stride, or seeking pointers to take their shot to the next level, the fewer numbers allow for more one-on-one coaching and feedback while working on specific drills to hone those skills.
COST: $892.50
Both weeks will include instruction from Bruins coaches and players, with about a dozen current players coming out to help with the on-ice coaching and leading group events this year.
“To see the Bruins players here helping and working with the next generation of young players, you love to see it,” Kocur said. “It gets them accustomed to the community early and gives them a chance to meet a lot their fans from Day 1.”
OTHER THINGS TO KNOW:
Each participant will receive an official Estevan Bruins camp jersey to take home! (Sizes: Youth S/M/L/XL, Adult S/M/L).
The Bruins will have a daily check-in for each child upon arrival. We ask that you arrive no earlier than 30 minutes before your child’s first activity.
