Roller Hockey Camp

by John Gushman Counselor Cabin 6

Roller hockey is a fun class because we cover everything, from the basics to complicated structural drills. The best part of class is definitely scrimmaging, because it helps you prepare for real game situations. Overall, I think that roller hockey is one of the most fun classes at Camp Shohola. Pike County Tournaments by Zach "Z-dawg" Frankel Cabin 12 Pike County Tournaments such as the 12-U Hughie Black International Basketball Tournament and other roller hockey, soccer, and softball tournaments are a lot of fun. They give us a chance to show off our skills in the classes we take. They also give a great chance to meet kids from other camps. This year, Shohola won the Pike County 13-U softball tournament and the 11-U soccer tournament. Pike County Tournaments are much fun. roller hockey by Pablo Martin Cabin 5 I am taking roller hockey classes at Shohola, and I am enjoying them a lot. I was a beginner when I entered that class (actually, it was the first time I played). That week, I learned how to receive a pass, and to get the ball from the ground. We also had some really fun drills. The first week I was the camper of the week, which encouraged me even more to continue practicing roller hockey at all times. Since I like it so much here, when I return home, I'll go on a team.

The most important position in hockey is goalie, but it's the hardest and that's what I like about it…it's challenging! The best goalie in camp is John Gushman without a doubt because he taught me everything I know, along with the help of Fred, a kind person and also a great goalie. My opinion on hockey is that everyone should play because it's lots of fun. You can play all kinds of hockey like Ice Hockey, Street Hockey, Field Hockey, and Roller Hockey. I prefer Roller Hockey because it's smoother. Now that Shohola has new equipment, I definitely recommend and encourage people and campers to play hockey. The things we are getting are arm pads, helmets, chest pads, and more. Hockey's a great sport and I want people to enjoy it as I do. xxxx Outdoor Games by Rusty Mower Cabin 2 You play all different kinds of games: Manhunt, Suicide, and King of the Mats. For Manhunt, one team waits, and the other team goes out and hides. Then, the first team comes and tries to find the other team, and you have to get tagged. In Suicide, you grab a ball and try to hit anybody you can. The object is to not get out. In King of the Mats, you try to stay on the mats with both feet and be the last one on the mats to win. The class is taught by Sarah, Sam, Steve R., Steven G., and Mike. I like the class because you get to play all the different games.


Roller Hockey Camp

By Eric Green

I think roller hockey is one of the best activities at camp because it lets people like me, who plays ice hockey during the winter, keep my skills up. In addition, I like that my friends who don't play ice hockey can play competitively with me during the summer and have a great time. I take roller hockey two periods each day. I never get tired of it.


Summer Camp Roller Hockey

By Philip Ayers, cabin 5

In roller hockey, we learn how to shoot, pass, puck handle, and play together. The main counselor is John Gushman and a lot of the time we just scrimmage. Sometimes in roller hockey, we have competitions like ‘Who can aim the best’ or ‘Who can deke out the goalie’ best. We also learn how to set up for a game in all of the positions, such as goalie, right defense, left defense, right wing, left wing, and center. Gushman is a great hockey counselor and he is a fun guy to be around. Roller hockey is a lot of fun and if you didn’t take it this year you definitely should next year!


Roller Hockey Kids Camp

By James Geoghegan Cabin 4

Skating is one of the main things in roller hockey. You have to be able to skate. Shooting and passing is very important, also. The most important aspect of shooting and passing is accuracy. If you can do all these things, you might be able to play roller hockey.


Kids Summer Camp Roller Hockey

Devin Rinaldi, Cabin 7

Roller hockey is fun because the people at this camp... well some of them... are good. So it's hard for me to beat them. One guy who I shard is Alex Steinberg, who left a little while ago. They both play ice hockey and roller hockey. I've played ice hockey for a long time.
