Students have come from over 18 Countries from every Continent, 16 American States, and every Province and Territory in Canada. Goaltender Hockey Camp started in 1983. Jasper Hockey Camp opened in 1996. All Girls Hockey Camp started in 1998. Angling & Skills Specialty Clinics introduced in 2009. Hockey Alberta Development Partnership pilot project implementation 2012. Hockey Alberta Official Development Licensee Partnership formulated 2013. As seen above, the Sylvan Lake Hockey Camp has consistently updated its’ programs to keep up with the ever changing development of the game. The emphasis of these programs has been training on fundamentals which has incorporated the latest of on ice and off ice drills and training information. Development Initiative
In keeping with that “Tradition” and looking to the “Next Generation” the partnership with Hockey Alberta is monumental as it gives the Camp access to the very latest appropriate training philosophies and technology. That information is captured in Hockey Canada’s’ “Long Term Player Development” document and is the basis for our program. The basics are as follows:

Age and skill appropriate training and development…on and off the ice. Focus on age appropriate training to ensure the participant develops as an athlete and acquires the skills necessary to play and enjoy hockey. Encourage hockey leaders (coaches, parents and other champions) to understand and value the importance of all-around development…delivering hockey specific skills at the right time in a young player’s career.

🏒✨ SLHC Summer 2026 has completed for the season! ✨🏒

As we officially close out the 52nd summer of the Sylvan Lake Hockey Camp, we want to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to every athlete, parent, family, staff member, instructor, and supporter who helped make another summer at SLHC so memorable.

Once again, it was incredible to welcome new faces alongside familiar ones, including families who have now been part of SLHC for generations! Seeing athletes return year after year, and former campers bringing the next generation to experience SLHC, is something we are incredibly proud of and grateful for.
Thank you for continuing to choose SLHC and for being part of our hockey camp family.

A special thank you to everyone who took the time to complete our End of Session Survey. Your comments, suggestions, and constructive feedback are extremely valuable to us. As we begin planning for Summer 2027, we will be reviewing your feedback and looking at ways we can continue to improve the SLHC experience.

While programs may evolve, one thing will never change: our commitment to providing a camp where players of all skill levels can learn, improve, build friendships, be challenged, and most importantly, have FUN playing the game we all love.

To all of our athletes, good luck in your upcoming hockey season! Work hard, have fun, be a great teammate, and enjoy every opportunity you get to step onto the ice.

We hope to see you back in Sylvan Lake next summer!

🏒 What a way to kick off our 52nd summer! ❤️🖤

We're a little late posting tonight, but it's been a very busy (and exciting!) day welcoming both our newest and returning athletes to the first day of SLHC 2026!
