2016 Mission Hills Ice Hockey Summer Camp

The 2016 Mission Hills Ice Hockey Summer Camp was successfully held from July 25 to 27 at Mission Hills, Shenzhen. Set over the course of three days and two nights, a total of 22 U12 players along with 3 coaches attended the ice hockey summer camp. New team building activities were added to the timetable to allow players to have a more well-rounded experience at the camp, and the activities included golfing, shooting activity and a water park experience.

Camp participants got the chance to impress the coaches with their ability to look after themselves and their independence - impressive, seeing as the attending players were aged between 7 and 12. All the players were able to digest and perform tasks assigned by the coach team and were able to put on full ice hockey gear by themselves.

Coach Arthur, one of the coaches for this camp, was very impressed by the players, he recalls “We went through many new experiences as a team, the players not only strengthened their ice hockey skills through the training sessions, but also learned how to co-ordinate with other team members and to build up the teamwork.? Everyone gave their best at the camp, which made it a great experience for both the players and the coach team.”

Let’s see what the players have to say about their summer camp experience:

During 3-day-2 night training camp,  I learnt the ability of self-discipline and co-operative spirit in our good team.
Moreover, I could make a lot of new friends. I was so glad and will keep in touch with them.
Anyway, I felt very excited in this trip for my summer vacation. l will have a good memory in my life.

暑期夏令營不但讓我接觸到新的事物，最大的收穫是學懂了自立和體驗團隊精神的重要性。我會用「快樂修行經驗」來總結是次活動。

今次的訓練營, 非常寶貴 ! 不單增強在冰球上的技巧, 亦體會到教練的熱情, 領隊的細心, 同學們之間的合作性 ! 更重要的是原來我已經長大了, 可以獨立地面對新挑戰.... 希望日後再有機會參加! 謝謝 !

This camp gave me a great experience to go to somewhere else and take care of my belongings and wear my hockey gear myself without my parents coming with me.I also had a fun time at the golf academy and water park.

It was a great experience, we had ice hockey training and other fun activities like golf and going to the water park.  I learnt to be more independent and how to skate better using edges and balance. Thanks to the coaches and HKAIH staff for bringing us to hockey camp.
