Over the next two weeks, we’re showcasing our Axemen Hockey Camps, with early-bird rates in effect until May 30.

Featured today are two goaltending options led by Axemen goalie coach Dan Turner and Acadia’s goaltending group.

The Axemen Elite Goalie Camp is built for goaltenders looking for a high-level training environment. Campers receive two hours of on-ice instruction each day, with a focus on skill development, hand-eye coordination and position-specific movement. The camp also includes off-ice training and classroom sessions in a small-group setting that allows for individualized attention.

The Axemen Goalie Development Camp is designed for younger goalies and focuses on building a strong foundation in the position. Sessions emphasize skating, balance, body positioning and hand-eye coordination, while combining on-ice training, off-ice conditioning and classroom learning in a fun, structured environment.

Whether your athlete is building the fundamentals or looking to sharpen advanced skills, both camps offer a strong opportunity to learn and improve.

Some Axemen connections at Winnipeg Blue Bombers training camp.

Axemen head coach Jeff Cummins has been with the Blue Bombers as a guest coach, connecting with Acadia alum Jake Thomas — now the club’s Defensive Line Coach — and Special Teams Coordinator Mike Miller.

The Blue Bombers open preseason play Saturday against Saskatchewan before beginning the regular season on June 5 in Calgary.

Great to see Acadia represented at the professional level.
