2012 Summer Hockey Clinics (July 9-August 13)
The Northbrook Bluehawks are proud to offer several summer programs for players of all abilities that will keep their skills sharp and are guaranteed to be fun! These programs will meet the needs of different ages and development levels, and will give players an opportunity to improve their skills and confidence. Limited clinic enrollment ensures more personalized one-on-one instruction by our professional coaching staff. A great way to stay on the ice during the off-season! Parents are urged to sign up early and not to miss out on these programs as clinic sizes are limited. Registration for these clinics is now available below. You must register online.
Pre-Season Hockey Camp (August 13-17)
The Northbrook Bluehawks are excited to offer a new Pre-Season Hockey Camp from August 13-17 for players of all abilities. Both House and Travel players may register. All players will receive both on and off-ice instruction by the Bluehawks' travel and GBN coaching staffs, with assistance from present and former GBN players. This is a great way to get ready for the 2012 season! Registration for this camp is now available below. You must register online.
