Griff's West to Host Griffins Youth Hockey Camp

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The Grand Rapids Griffins Youth Hockey Camp is heading to the Lakeshore! Griff’s IceHouse West in Holland, Mich., (4444 Holland Ave.) will host the five-day camp from Aug. 16-20, enabling kids from Ottawa, Allegan and Muskegon Counties convenient access to professional instruction from Griffins players and coaches for the first time.

The Griffins Youth Hockey Camp will be instructed by Griffins assistant coach Matt Macdonald and right wing Dominik Shine. Appearances will also be made during the week by Grand Rapids assistant coach and 16-year NHL veteran Mike Knuble as well as captain and longtime defenseman Brian Lashoff.

“The Griffins have always had great support from the Lakeshore youth hockey communities,” said Bob Kaser, the camp’s director and the Griffins’ vice president of community relations and broadcasting. “As we look to enhance our relationship with all of them, a hockey camp in Holland makes so much sense.”

Offered to kids ages 6-16, the camp helps players maximize their skills through 12.5 hours of on-ice instruction focused on skill development and power skating. The $300 cost per child includes a camp jersey, daily lunch provided by popular local eateries, and a locker room to store equipment for the week.

Registration also remains open for the annual Griffins Youth Hockey Camp at Griff’s IceHouse at Belknap Park in Grand Rapids (30 Coldbrook St. NE), which will take place July 26-30 with the same team of instructors. The Griffins’ flagship camp features 11 hours of ice time along with 11 hours of dry-land fun and video, and the $350 cost per child also includes a t-shirt and hat.
