Hockey Moves: Orillia Summer Camps, Skill Development, Spring Teams
Hockey Moves loves Orillia, Ontario. We're here to build genuine on-ice confidence, master core mechanics, and help local players of all ages and skill levels fall in love with the game.
We run our programs at Orillia's premier local rinks, primarily skating out of Rotary Place (West Orillia Sports Complex) and Gill Street Community Complex (formerly Brian Orser Arena). Whether your player is joining our summer hockey camps, sharpening their stride, or prepping for a competitive rep season, our coaches are here to help them take their game to the next level.
What We Do in Orillia
We don't believe in the old-school, high-pressure grind. We focus on high-tempo, creative development. When kids feel supported, they take risks, try new moves, make mistakes, and ultimately develop their skills much faster.
1. High-Tempo Summer Camps
Our summer camps pair intensive, skill-first morning ice blocks with active, multi-sport dry-land training and creative outdoor games. It's about keeping kids active, smiling, and building skills in a positive environment.
2. Player Development & Skills Clinics
Weekly skills sessions designed to sharpen core skating and puck mechanics. We break down complex movements into actionable steps, focusing heavily on power skating stride mechanics, deep edge work, transitional mobility, and creative puck control. Find upcoming skills programs here.
3. Team Training & Guest Coaching
Are you coaching an Orillia minor hockey team this season? Let us handle the heavy lifting for your next practice. The Hockey Moves coaching staff offers Guest Coaching Takeovers at Rotary Place or Gill Street, tailored to your team's age and tier.
4. Spring Tournament Teams
When the winter season wraps up, our development doesn't stop. Hockey Moves fields competitive Spring Hockey Teams for players looking to keep progressing in a structured, team-oriented tournament setting. Learn more about MOMENTUM here.
The Hockey Moves Standard
- Active, Positive Role Models: Our coaches are active and former junior and college players who grew up playing local Ontario hockey. They lead by example with high encouragement and modern coaching techniques.
- Skill Groupings that Work: We group players by skill level. This allows local league players to find their balance and gain confidence, while rep players are pushed with high-speed, complex drills.
- Positive, High-Energy: Our coaches are in the drills, offering constructive feedback, and keeping the energy positive.
