Whether the student is a beginner or an experienced hockey player, this school will meet there needs. This hockey school will consists of 16 total hours of professional training, 8 hours of on-ice instruction and 6 hours of professional dryland training. Additionally, the enrollment is limited to 30 players and 4 goalies, assuring that each player receives the proper coaching and attention needed to maximize their results! The Ice Works “4S” on ice curriculum; skating, stick handling, shooting and situational play will be addressed throughout the week. The first ice session will deal with forward and backwards skating. Players will work on their balance, agility, edge control, lateral & linear speed and striding techniques. The second on-ice session, the curriculum will focus on stick handling, shooting and situational play. While focusing on stick handling, players will work on puck protection; various deke moves, head fakes and their passing and receiving skills. During the shooting stage, players will work on increasing their shot velocity and accuracy; all four shots (wrist, snap, slap and backhand) will be addressed. Lastly, the players will combine all of their skills they have learned throughout the day and incorporate them in game like situational drills. Following their on-ice training, all players will participate in a 1hr dryland training circuit. Here players will work on improving their core strength, lateral & linear speed, torso strength, flexibility, agility, speed and balance.

“Having recruited and coached Bobby at UNH, I am not surprised at the success Bobby has had at the professional level. With Bobby’s passion for the game and his enthusiasm to teach younger players I am confident that he will be successful with his newest hockey venture, Ice Works and “Elite Hockey Training”. I am confident in recommending Bobby to the parents of young youth players with a desire to excel and improve their game.”
Being a New England native, I have attended many hockey camps and clinics in the area and if you’re serious about raising your game to the next level then Ice Works “Elite Hockey Training” is the camp for you. The attentiveness of their instructors, their knowledge of the game and their intense training curriculum, combined with their outstanding dryland training program is really what separates Ice Works from the competition.
Having coached Bobby for four years at UNH, I know his natural ability to put the puck in the net! If your child wants to learn to score, then there’s no other camp than Ice Works. Bobby’s ability to analyze a player shooting flaws, correct the players shooting mechanics, is an exceptional talent of Bobby’s – I would highly recommend Bobby Butler and the Ice Works “Elite Hockey Training” program!
"As a former NHL player, I strongly endorse Ice Works 'Elite Hockey Training' for the player who wants to evaluate their game and make the improvements to succeed at the next level. Coach Payne's enthusiasm, knowledge and unique coaching approach makes Ice Works an 'Elite' camp!
Attending the camp as a surprised guest for the players, I was blown away by Bobby and Brian’s attention to detail. Ice Works “Elite Hockey Training” is an exceptional program that really focuses on all of four aspects of the game. All of the directors and counselors made sure that each child was worked with individually and pushed outside of their comfort zones!

"Brian and his coaching staff at Ice Works "Elite Hockey Training" have set the bar for all hockey schools. His on-ice curriculum is unlike any others, and there is no comparable dryland training program like Ice Works. His passion, enthusiasm and commitment to every player guarantees individual results.
As a former professional hockey player and proud parent of three young boys, I had the opportunity to send my oldest son to the Ice Works “Full Throttle” hockey program last year. I was simply blown away! The four-week program was exceptional, I was impressed by the extremely low student to teacher ratio (4:1) and all of the instructor’s attention to details. Brian and Bobby were present all the time and made the camp extremely challenging but fun at the same time. My son is flourishing this year, and I contribute it to the time he spent at Ice Works this past summer…
Ice Works “Elite Hockey Training” is an exceptional camp for the player that really wants to excel to the next level. Bobby and Brian’s knowledge of the game, passion and desire to improve each player is evident in their positive approach. Bobby and Brian are motivating but demanding of their players – I would strongly recommend Ice Works!
My boys participated in several Ice Works clinics last summer. I can say without a doubt that their skill levels improved tremendously. They were by far readier at the start of their season than most of their teammates, many of whom went to different summer hockey camps and clinics. The combination of high quality off-ice and on-ice training by highly experienced instructors, each one bringing a different skill set and approach that builds upon an aligned overall training strategy sets Ice Works apart from the rest!
I have attended many camps and clinics as a child and I wished there was an Ice Works “Elite Hockey Training” program in Edmonton, Alberta! I had the ability to work with Bobby at one of his hockey schools recently and was just amazed at the training techniques and equipment that they are providing the kids. The Ice Works mobile training center is simply awesome, skating machines, sideboards, vertical leapers – I wish I had these training tools when I was a younger!
Having played with Bobby Butler for the Ottawa Senators, I know what a deadly shot he has personally! If your child wants to learn how to score, then I would highly recommend attending one of Ice Works “Elite” hockey schools or shooting clinics. I have no doubt that this current Pro & former US Olympian will make a huge difference in your child’s shot!
