MK Lightning Junior Hockey Camps

Due to popular demand we are delighted to be running 2 four day junior hockey camps in Milton Keynes, run by Lightning’s very own Tim Wallace, who brings onto the ice top level coaching and experience of over 100 NHL games.

Learn from Tim the secrets of being a top level pro, and how to build the skills and habits which will help in the Journey to the Top.

There will be two camps this year.

18th August – 21st August = Future Stars – for Hockey players born 2012-2019.

25th August – 28th August = High Performance – for Hockey players born 2007-2011

The coaching staff will be able to evaluate players skill levels and implement the appropriate drills to challenge each player accordingly.

Note: Please book the correct camp for your child’s birth year.

Each camp runs over 4 full days.

Timings are drop off at 8.15am, and collect at 5:15pm. Over the course of the 4 days, participants will enjoy 12 hours of ice time and instruction, 6 hours of off ice video/chalkboard/training sessions, and 2 hours of pro-player tips to help players take their game to the next level.

Participants will receive a hot, healthy lunch each day, and a jersey to keep.

The cost of the camp is £455 and places can be reserved online by using the link below.

Hockey Camp Jerseys – please check your sizing here as they are different to standard sizing. For your jersey to be ready for the beginning of the camp you must complete the booking by 11th July.

(As a guide a 10 year old is approx an XS)

Please note: The player must be registered with the EIH and wear a full hockey kit including face guard, and neck guard in accordance with EIH rules.

What people said about our second Hockey camp in 2023

“We’ve been to a lot of camps, and this is by far the best, from the quality of coaching, the well thought out and planned sessions, the off-ice activities and everything in between. The degree of care and attention paid has not been matched anywhere else. The thing that particularly sets this above the rest is the level of pastoral care and ensuring the wellbeing of all the players – the volunteer team off the ice made this every bit as memorable for my son as the coaches did on the ice. I don’t want to recommend this camp to anyone else for fear I might not get a space next year if it proves very popular!”

“X loved the week, especially being in a part of the country that doesn’t know him, and being given the opportunity to push himself against older and more able players than the group he started with. He really valued the feedback from all the coaches, got some excellent pointers ready for the new season. We will definitely be back next summer if the camp is on again, and hopefully persuade some teammates to make the same trip”

“Overall camp was amazing and X had improved significantly in the 4 days he was there, gained a lot of knowledge about nutrition also and always had a smile on his face. COACHES WERE FANTASTIC!!”

“I didn’t get a chance to thank everybody individually at the end of camp today.  Thank you to all volunteers, behind the scene workers and coaches for all your hard work and time that goes in to organising and running what I feel is a well run hockey camp”

What people said about our first Hockey camp in 2022

“We travelled from Leeds to this camp and stayed over and despite the distance we would 100% do it again. X loved every minute of the camp and from the little we saw we understand why.”

“X absolutely loved the day he spent here. We will certainly be doing the full camp next year. Thank you to everyone involved in the camp.”

“My son came back buzzing every evening. He was exhausted (especially by the end of the camp) but very happy.”

“Excellent camp, Tim taking about his life and struggles to get to the NHL was as inspiring as the camp itself, excellent to develop the kids mindset. ”

“I feel that the coaches made the effort to get to know X better than in previous camps he has done. The report at the end was really detailed and I thought it was lovely that Tim took the time to sit and have a conversation with each child.”
