T – Jasper Hockey Camp
For the last many years Jasper Minor Hockey has brought Gaston and I up to do a 3 days camp. The last five years my son Jim has come as well. Two groups 5-8 and 9-15 with a mix of girl's and boy's. The young ones get on hour of skating with Gaston and one of hockey with me and Jim. The older ones get one hour of skating and 75 minutes of hockey per day. It is a beautiful drive up. Good highway driving to Lake Louise then 225 km. up highway 93 of an ice covered mountain pass with cliffs on both sides.
The description below is for the game organization and the first video is about the whole camp and not just the games and shows skating and puck handling and the little guys playing hand hockey between the skating and hockey sessions.
the other three video show the players doing the skating warm up with Gaston, young group playing a King's Court tournament and the older group doing a battle game of 1 vs. 1 vs. 1.
I love the place, the people and doing this camp.

D – Game Organization for the Jasper Camp
Key Points:
Play 3 cross ice games at once. Six one net games at once, two nets on each goal line. Combine the way you use the nets. Basic principle is the larger the team the more group activity and the smaller the team the more individual activity.
Description:
1 – Cross ice one net games, two pass, bounce off boards or pass to resting teammate.
2 – Puck or different balls at each game. Switch balls every 5 minutes.
3 – Passing rules, 2-3 passes, 2" with puck, one touch, only forehand, backhand, saucer.
4 – You must make an escape move before a pass or shot, only one pass allowed.
5 – The older group played 8-8 full ice with the rule there must be at least one pass in each zone.
This video shows the little kid's playing, the older group skating and the 5-8 year olds on the ice doing puck handling and games.
