CCM Contact Camp
Overview
The CCM Contact Camps provide Canadian players with a safe, professional, and highly effective environment to develop the skills and confidence needed for ice hockey contact. Through expert instruction and progressive on-ice training, players learn proper checking techniques, body positioning, angling, and contact awareness while reinforcing respect for the game and their opponents.
Designed to prepare players for the physical aspects of competitive hockey and today's evolving rules, these camps help athletes become confident in both delivering and receiving checks safely while reducing the risk of injury. Beyond safety, the curriculum focuses on using contact strategically to gain a competitive advantage by winning puck battles, protecting possession, and creating opportunities in all areas of the ice. Players leave the camp more confident, better prepared, and ready to compete at the next level.
