2013 HKAIH Russia Summer Camp

From July 30 and August 11, 2013 The HKAIH brought 29 students to participate in a camp in Mozhaysk, Russia. This hockey camp is a coordinated effort between the HKAIH and Sergei Nemchinov; former two-time Stanley Cup Champion with the New York Rangers and New Jersey Devils.

The coaches in Russia were happy to receive us at the airport and take us to the rink and the camp site where the students stayed for the duration of the camp.

Coaches Barry Beck, Anqi Tan and Mike Lam were present to organize the trip while also monitoring the on and off ice activities. We had several coaches from the IceStyle Russian Camp on ice running their program which concentrated on power skating and stick-handling. The drills were challenging while the dry-land exercises were equally difficult.

On August 10 the students had a chance to meet with Founder and Chairman of HKAIH, Thomas Wu in the early morning during a dry-land session and on ice sessions later in the day. We want to thank all the coaches in Russia, the parents who came along and for supporting our camp and all the students for coming out to participate in one of the most unique camps the HKAIH has been to.
