"This camp provides an opportunity for all to develop their game. The staff provides elite levels of knowledge for players and parents alike. Every time I am out recruiting it seems I always see a parent or player with ties to Hockey and Sons. All levels of ability are welcome and everyone enjoys their time together."

Kevin Constantine Lecturer

One of the best known names in the sport, Kevin returns to Hockey and Sons for his 4th year. The International Falls native was an outstanding goalie and was a 1978 draft pick of the Montreal Canadiens.

Kevin went behind the bench in the 1980s with Rochester (USHL) and has been a coach ever since. He has coached in the WHL, AHL, and NHL with San Jose, Pittsburgh, and New Jersey. Constantine has also led teams in France, Switzerland, South Korea, Poland, and his current post in Hungary.

"Troy Ward built the foundation for Hockey and Sons based on a high level of professionalism in detail and instruction, and then followed up by bringing in high level coaches to deliver that information. The fact families return year after year, often for 6, 7, 8 straight years, is a testament to how much benefit players and parents get from the camp and how much fun they have attending."
