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, as we've held a camp in Buffalo every year since.

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)!

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:

  •  Host a "Break the Ice" Party at Elmo's on Thursday evening, which will follow the first skate.  This will give you an opportunity to get to know your coaches and  fellow players.  Coming with a spouse or friend who is not playing?  They are welcome to join us.

  • Host a Banquet Dinner on Saturday evening for all players, coaches and staff.  And if you have come with a non-playing spouse, friend or family member, please bring them along.  They are welcome to join the fun for a nominal additional fee.

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, and they now ask for a Passport, Passport card or an enhanced drivers license, although children under 16 can still use a birth certificate.  However, it is always a good idea to check with immigration if you have any questions.)
