FAQs
Are the hockey camps for skaters and goalies?
Yes, the Tim Thomas Hockey Camps are for Forwards, Defense and Goalies. Boys and Girls.
Are the TT Hockey Camps Overnight or Day Camps?
Day Camps
What is the age requirement?
Ages: 6 - 17. Our players are divided into small groups based on age and skill level.
Are the camps for beginners, intermediate, or advanced? Do you have all ages on the ice?
We run successful hockey camps where players have fun, work hard and most importantly, learn. Our players are divided into groups based on age and skill level; groups in which they can improve and learn. Different groups will be on the ice at different times as their needs and our instruction are different.
What does a typical day look like?
Typically, players have 3 hours of ice time every day. Since we are teaching overall hockey development, players also have off-ice classroom sessions, where they learn fundamentals, positioning, strategy, special teams play, nutrition, and general hockey knowledge. Then players go to a dryland session for conditioning, flexibility, agility, games and stretching. Video sessions focus on technical as well as fun aspects. Game sessions are fun and bring it all together. Our sessions are tailored specifically for each age group. Players move from one station to the next. Little down-time, fun, entertaining and always with new wrinkles to put smiles on everyone’s face, improve and learn.
For the older advanced players, do you have qualified counselors and shooters or are they siblings, etc.?
We are offering a well-run camp; no siblings as counselors or shooters. Even the best 16-year old player has plenty to learn at our hockey camp and I want to offer the best instruction. Our coaching staff includes star college players, current pros as well as youth and college coaches.
My son is a goalie and was wondering how much time will be spent on goalie drills since your school is for forwards, defense and goalies? Are they mainly there for the others to shoot on? I have a concern with the school being for so many positions and not focusing on one.
Goalies are automatically placed in our Tim Thomas Hockey Goalie Camp where they receive goalie-specific coaching on and off the ice. Goalies spend most of the camp time in goalies-only sessions. They learn goaltending fundamentals, specific drills, routines used by the best goalies and the important behind-the-scenes skills that young goalies might not get anywhere else.
Hockey is a team sport. We are including all positions in our camps because players cannot get better without playing against each other and without understanding the different positions on the ice.
My son is a forward. What will he get out of the Tim Thomas camp?
We offer a total hockey skills development camp. Forwards and defensemen are divided into groups according to their age and skill level. In our on and off-ice sessions, we focus on fundamentals first: skating, passing, receiving passes, stick-handling, agility, quickness, shooting, shot-blocking, checking and making the correct decisions. We look at how the best forwards score and their tendencies, how D work with goalies on their D-zone positioning and coverage. We tie it together with fun team competitions and drills. And all skaters in the past camps got to shoot on Timmy and see if they can score on an NHL All Star. We are planning a similar shootout on TT for all upcoming camps.
My son is an 8 year old goalie, is he old enough for the camp? Thank you very much looking forward to this summer.
Yes, we have other 8-year olds signed up; your son is old enough. Players will be divided into groups based on age and skill level.
What is the coach to player ratio?
4-to-1. We have a large and very qualified coaching staff- our commitment is for every player to receive special and individual attention.
Will Tim be working directly with the campers?
We are not doing dozens of camps in dozens of states. We run a limited number of camps, so I can be there. As always, I plan to be at every camp and spend time with players on and off the ice. We provide an environment for our players to learn from the best, improve and have fun.
Since you have Day Camps, do you offer accommodations for out-of-state campers and their families?
A large number of players (and their families) come to our camps as part of their vacation from all around the United States and abroad. We work with local hotels and campgrounds to provide recommendations and better rates. We usually post the information in the spring, several months before the camps start.
Tim, do you run any camps for adults?
Yes, we are doing an Adult Camp in S. Burlington, VT. It is a Day Camp for 5 days, Mon- Fri: 6:00pm to 8:15pm. Each day consists of 30 minutes Dryland, 30 minutes Classroom/Video/Hockey knowledge, 15 min to get dressed for on-ice session, 1 hour on the ice. This camp was requested by parents of some of our campers and it will be a lot of fun and we can’t wait. Contact us if you are interested.
