The UO 2-1 Hockey Skills Camps

The following video is a "highlight" video from the June and July Ultimate Officials 2-1 Hockey Skills Camps.

I call these camps "hockey skills" camps, because I stress that the officials work on hockey skills that can transfer over into any other system...regardless if it is the 1-2 system, the 2 official system, the 2-1 system, or the 4 official system.

Skills like: footwork, first-step speed, getting in the Golden Triangle and working the Golden Triangle, anticipation, and "at-net skills" are the skills that are stressed.  Using summer hockey as a time to work on all of these skating (and mental) skills help ensure an even better performance for the next season.  These camps are designed for those who are looking to continue their climb up the ladder.  I hope you enjoy!

In 2005, there were two Zebra Open events: (1)Northern Tournament: 4 participants, who donated a total of $240 to American Cancer Society, and (2) Twin Cities Event: 12 participants, who donated a total of $650 to Jon and Kelley Campion (Jon was a WCHA ref and Kelly had terminal cancer). In 2006, we held the event for the first time at Little Falls CC, and we had 27 participants, who raised $3100 for Jon and Kelley Campion again. Year 4 we had the tournament in Little Falls again, drawing 31 people who raised $3000 for the Zebra Foundation. This will be the fourth year it will be held at Stonebrooke Golf in Shakopee, MN, and last 3 years we raised over $1250, $1760, & $2,700 respectively.
