Program Overview

April 22-26. 2023 in Hauppauge, Long Island. We are coming back for year three this time at a new venue! Bringing in coaches from all over the world for a must attend event. Wether it be to jump start your Spring/Summer competition season, or your off season training regiment. The best skills and off ice coaches from around the world come together in one place for your player to learn from and receive a full spectrum of skill development.

Vanguard Hockey International’s sole purpose is player development. With experience working with beginners to NHL players and Olympians there is a clear understanding of what it takes to develop a player on and off the ice. We bring the knowledge of some of the best skills coaches of the past with the expertise and insights of today’s pioneer coaches and minds. Player development transcends on-ice skills. It includes training your mindset and attitude as much as your physical and on-ice abilities. Today’s young players are tomorrow’s citizens, and we pride ourselves in committing to helping these young players become the best they can be on and off the ice. We understand not every player wants to make it to the NHL, some aspire to make a Prep or University team, maybe you have no long term aspirations but want to be the best you can while you play the game for your local travel or recreational team. We are here to help players of all mindsets achieve whatever it is they aspire to.

Vanguard Hockey International is committed to giving back to all of those who have sacrificed for us. We offer Military and First Responder discounts on all events. Vanguard Hockey International will be donating 5% of profits from each individual event to a different Military, Veteran, or First Responder Charity. We thank you for all you have done and sacrificed for us and this is our small way of showing our appreciation for your service.
