50 Years of Pro Hockey Experience
With over 50 pro hockey seasons combined among our staff, we believe Great Lakes Hockey Camp provides some of the best training in the country on and off the ice. From our morning sessions—which focus on proper skating technique and daily skill drills—to small, competitive games in the afternoon, GLH equips campers to develop well-rounded skill sets and reach their full potential.
Reach Your Full Potential

OFF-ICE DEVELOPMENT
What separates players the most is the mental side of the game. Our campers will learn topics like being a good teammate, handling success and failure, and setting goals.

ON-ICE HABITS
The best players in the world do the simple things GREAT! We will focus and encourage our campers to appreciate the importance of good habits on the ice.

EXPERIENCED STAFF
Our camps are led by two long-time pro players, Jared Nightingale and Terry Broadhurst. Nightingale is currently the Assistant Coach for the Chicago Blackhawks AHL affiliate, the Rockford IceHogs.

LOVE WHAT YOU DO!
Passion for your craft is the most important trait a hockey player can have. Our main goal is to help the campers love the greatest game in the world even more!

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING



“My son and his teammates have attended GLH for the past couple of years and they absolutely love it! During the camp, the players build confidence through drills, playing games off-ice, and interacting during chalk talks and trivia. As a coach, I appreciate the skills and drills GLH put players through; skill development is obvious. And all the kids are having a great time.”
Amy, East Lansing Parent


“Great Lakes Hockey is a fantastic program for kids of all ages. Jared and his team are very involved and teach the importance of effort, attitude, and good sportsmanship, on and off the ice. We have been campers for three years now and plan on many more.”
Scott, East Lansing Parent
