Art of Hockey Announces Summer Hockey Camps in Cicero, NY
Art of Hockey is bringing summer hockey camps to Central New York this August.
Players will join us August 6-7, 2026 at The MACC in Cicero, NY for two days of skill development, hockey IQ training, competition, and game-transfer learning designed to help them prepare for the season ahead.
Art of Hockey’s training approach goes beyond isolated drills. Players work through on-ice skill stations, small-area games, video sessions, off-ice development, and competitive play so they can better understand how their skills transfer into real game situations.
