The Cyclone Hockey School will offer several one week sessions in Summer of 2012. The camp is conveniently located just 30 miles north of Des Moines in Ames, Iowa on the beautiful campus of Iowa State University. Instruction will be provided by coaches and players from the current Cyclone Hockey team as well as other experienced high-level coaches. Only 30 spots are available in each group and they will fill fast. These positions will be filled on a first come, first serve basis.
