Parent Testimonials

Jonathan is looking forward to the camp again this year - he's really enjoyed the last few years with you and your team. He made his first rep team last season, and his team won a banner. So, thanks for your part in all that.

A heartfelt thanks for the amazing week you and your fantastic staff have given to Will at the Victoria Hockey School. I am so impressed, and truly hope he has the opportunity to work with you and your team again.

Thanks again for the great summer camp! Carter has successfully made the rep team and he thanks his Victoria Hockey School coaches! He loves returning every year. Thanks for all you do for our kids.

We travelled from Vancouver to join Nate and his coaches at the Victoria Hockey School this summer. My son (U13) had a great week! The coaches created a welcoming environment for kids of all levels. Coach Nate and Coach Ben’s mix of traditional drills and innovative games had the kids working hard, developing their skills and having lots of fun while doing so. My son came home each day with a smile on his face and is already hoping to come back again next year.

I coach the first year novice kids here at Peninsula. This was their first experience with a camp like this (my son included) and am happy to tell you the boys had an absolute blast. All parents I was with throughout the week were beyond impressed with the job you guys did . First class all the way. I learned a lot myself and look forward introducing some of your drills and structure into our practice plans this year. Thanks again for making this experience so memorable for our kids , it’s only going to bring them closer as a team and help them achieve success. You will definitely see us all again next year.
