Simply Defense Hockey Camp

[GROwl 5]

We got an email note regarding a youth hockey camp for Defensemen. The group putting it on is Simply Defense (www.simplydefense.com). The note said that they have run camps for 5 years in the Detroit and Port Huron areas and are just now expanding over to the west side of the state.

Anyone have any experience - good or bad - with this camp?

I'm thinking about sending my kid to one of the 2-day Easter camps.

As long as you're not coached by Brad McCrimmon, then you're fine.

Last year it was a shame no Wings showed up..... its showing this season.

Maybe you could forward that E-mail to the Wings head office?!

I don't have any personal experience with that camp, but I haven't heard anything negative about it and I have heard Jeff Blum is a good coach. His staff has a lot of coaching, teaching, and personal instruction experience. Bogas is a HS assistant coach, Clark runs the CORE training facility that Draper is inolved in, Tomlinson has camp and private lesson experience, John Blum has been around for a long time, not sure on the others. It's only 2 days and 2 hours per day... can't hurt to give it a try.
