Program Overview

About Battle Ready Hockey 2025 Charlotte Camp

Battle Ready Hockey returns to Indian Trail, NC, for another exciting preseason camp! From July 28–August 1, 2025, we invite players to join us at Extreme Ice Center for a week of focused training and preparation to fine tune their game and step onto the ice ready to compete.

Our experienced coaching staff focuses on essential hockey skills—like scanning, puck protection, and shoulder checking—that are often overlooked but are crucial for success on the ice. Each day of camp features a unique theme for on-ice training, keeping players sharp and engaged while refining their overall skill set. Through high energy drills and situational play, our program equips players with tools that directly translate to gameday performance.

Beyond skill work, we enhance the camp experience with guest speakers who bring fresh insights into areas like mental resilience, nutrition, and the journey to higher levels of play. Past speakers have included an NHL player, a Stanley Cup-winning mental coach, and a sports dietitian. This year, we’re building on that tradition to deliver even more value to our players.

Our 2025 Charlotte Camp coaching staff includes Cooper Fensterstock, Dominic Vidoli, Brendan Logan, Eric Hirschhaut, Matt Doran, Matt Petizian, and Joey Strada—all of whom bring NCAA or professional playing experience to our program.

Combining high-energy drills, competitive games, and a strong focus on skill-building, Battle Ready Hockey's Preseason Camp prepares players to hit the ice with confidence and excel in the season ahead

Prepare. Compete. Succeed. Let’s get Battle Ready together.

Recommended for travel-level players.
