A Message From Mike Fountain

“I was raised in Muskoka and always look forward to coming back to visit family and friends.  My years of experience playing in the NHL, a pro career in Russia, and now coaching and managing under the hockey USA program in Grand Rapids, Michigan, I feel I will be bringing a fresh new direction on hockey instruction at the Muskoka Summer Hockey School.  I look forward to seeing you in August, 2017!”

    Our son got up each morning and couldn't wait to get to your hockey school. He had visitors up at the cottage and didn't once complain about leaving to go and learn and play with new friends at your camp. Thanks for all of your hard work!

    At six years old, this was Cole's first hockey camp. All of my questions leading up to the week were promptly answered by Derek. Everything seemed very well organized but the biggest compliment I can give is how excited Cole was for day two. We can't wait for next year!

    The drills were great and the kids loved the daily games. It was also fun having kids from so many different centres and even from outside of Ontario. They are looking forward to seeing the friends they made again next year.

    The Mike Fountain hockey school was a terrific learning and growing experience for our son Noah who is a beginner. The school is very organized which helps keep the kids focused and having fun, the instructors from Mike Fountain down all love to teach which is very evident. If you are looking for a hockey school for your son or daughter whether a first timer or a player who has played organized hockey, this school will not disappoint. The kids meet new friends and definitely leave with skills they did not have when they arrived both on ice and off. Thank you Mike and Team.

    Every year, this camp is the highlight of the summer for Campbell. Amongst all the skills they develop the one thing my son takes away most from this camp is confidence. I’m so grateful for the positive and supportive environment of this great program!
