Doug Shepherd is a professional hockey skating and development coach. A graduate of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and former Assistant Captain of the RPI Men’s Hockey Team, Doug enjoyed a productive career at both the NCAA Div. I and Minor Professional level. Doug worked in player development roles for the Winnipeg Jets, Manitoba Moose (AHL), and the University of Prince Edward Island. Doug is currently a certified NHLPA Player Agent with Achieve Sports Management. He has worked with McQuaid (Boston Bruins), Dion Phaneuf (Ottawa Senators and Toronto Maple Leafs) and Sidney Crosby (Pittsburgh Penguins) as a skating coach. Doug has helped several players from Northern Virginia reach the junior and college hockey ranks. He is joining Ion this holiday season to share that knowledge and experience with you.
Camp includes a Parent Hot Stove session with Doug Shepard and Craig Desjarlais to discuss the “Hockey Advancement Path” with parents and players. What are the options to play junior and college hockey? How do I get there? Doug and his team will discuss these ideas and present real-world scenarios players can use to forge their own development path.
The camp also includes a coaches symposium on ice with a power skating demo. This session is available to all area coaches and will provide a host of skating-specific drills they can use with their own teams.
Based on the nature of this camp, groups limited to 25 skaters per session, and restricted to AAA and Select AA players.
Camp Cost: $265
Think you’re top dog in your age group? Come find out. All youth players from the area are invited to participate in an NHL-style skills competition, plus an off-ice component to test your physical abilities. Players will compete in fastest skater, hardest shot, and accuracy competitions on the ice, and agility, vertical jump, and strength tests off the ice among other players in their age group. We will crown Top Dog in each age group with a special prize, and every player will receive their test results to see how they stack up.
