 Camp Description
We strive to hold our camps in what we call "Destination Locations". So the
natural question is "Why Buffalo?". Well, Buffalo is where I grew up. It
will always be my hometown, and I wanted to bring a camp to Buffalo. So I
took a chance in 2004, and 31 players came out to make our first Buffalo camp a
great success. (Interestingly, all 31 came from outside of the Buffalo Metro
area.) As they say, the rest is history. This year will mark our 6th annual camp in
Buffalo.
Don't
let the discounted price fool you. You will receive the same high
quality program and instruction as any other location. That’s one of the great
things about Buffalo, things are just cheaper there. So take advantage of my
sense of hometown pride (or poor business sense), and experience a Weekend
Warriors camp at a bargain price…and I promise it won’t snow (much)!
The Rink

Player Activities Off the Rink
Weekend Warriors is about more than just learning and playing hockey.
It is an entire weekend experience of fun, learning and camaraderie. In
order to achieve this goal, we will:
Activities for Attending
Spouses/Families of Players
Some players may wish to bring their spouse or family along. We will
help you plan such activities for your spouse or family while you are on
the ice. Examples
of such activities include golf, a visit to the famous Anchor Bar (originator of
"Buffalo Wings"), a trip to Niagara Falls
and/or Casino Niagara,
as well as many other tours and activities that the Buffalo area offers.
Take advantage of our local experience. We won't steer you wrong.
Special Note Regarding Travel into Canada:
Buffalo is right across the border from Canada, and
some players plan excursions to Canada during the weekend. There are many
attractions just across the border, including Niagara Falls and a world class
casino. For those planning to cross into Canada, please bring the
appropriate documentation (Requirements have been changing recently, and
eventually a passport will be required. Please check with immigration if
you are not sure.)
If you have specific questions regarding the Buffalo camp,
please don't hesitate to give us a
