Parent Information: What is a Hockey Combine?

    A hockey combine is a gathering of hockey players who have signed up to show a particular team or hockey organization what their skills are.  A combine may also be referred to as a "Camp" or  a "Pre-season Skate," but either description suits that of a combine - - where coaches get to take a look at what skills a player has. 

Drills, skills and even games go on at combines, camps and pre-season skates and they are a great way for coaches to put eyeballs on your kid and see how they stand up to their age-specific rivals.

Combines, like camps, pre-season skates and even tryouts are the best way to get your kid seen and noticed...hopefully in a good way; and the possibility of a coach asking your kid to try out for a junior hockey (or other level) team is possible. 

Grab that bull by the horns and get your kid where they can be seen if you want him/her to advance to a higher-level of play...and you think they have the skills.  There is nothing to lose, except required fees (typically $50-$200 each) and travel costs, if any.
