Defence First Hockey School

About

Defence First is dedicated to shaping young talent and helping players reach their full potential, whether advancing to higher levels of play or paving the path to professional hockey. Our mission is to teach the thinking side of hockey, empowering players to take control of the game. Why simply react to the opposition when you can dictate the play? By mastering body and stick placement, players learn to influence every situation, making their game more efficient and strategic.

"DON'T JUST PLAY THE GAME; THINK THE GAME."

Our camps focus on essential skills like structured skating, mastering game scenarios, and generating offense from the backend. With the addition of new specialized focus camps, we now offer even more opportunities to customize your player's experience. Whether refining physical play, improving balance and stance, or enhancing decision-making under pressure, Defence First provides players with the tools to excel.
