Wolfpack ('Pack as insiders call em) if you can get in. It's 6-8 hrs a day, dryland/ice combo. Rumor is it starts June 10thish and goes to Labor Day. ZERO days off.
Pack

Recently was able to get my '03 in for a pack tryout...after a lot of pressure by me. I have to say, I wonder where they get these kids from as he was not even close....I would consider him an above average player who has had offers from many of the top programs...but like I said, not even close to the skill level of the wolfpack kids. By all the nepotism I saw at the rink, wondering if these kids come out of the womb with skates on Their little feet.

Shine, the muskie is a catch of a thousand casts. Try throwing and retrieving a doble cowgirl and tell me that isn`t a workout!

3 week power/speed clinic at 'The Made' just before tryouts is intense and helped my kid perform at tryouts this year- good combination of puck control and skating-while expanding the kids' comfort zones- scrimmage last day of each week- we will do it again next year-
Turcotte Summer Clinic is good-

Not going to do a ton of hockey this off season. Probably spend a little time at the outdoor rinks and take in a few skill specific clinics to keep the skills sharp for next year.
We'll get a bunch of hunting in and watch a lot of football too. I think he wants to try some snowboarding this off season too. Looking forward to the break.

I'd agree with this list, plus the child humliation factor is 0% with each of them. The added bonus is that you never have to listen to a Bauer Supreme parent scream obscenities at refs
