From the founder
“We started DevCo because the camps we played in, and the ones our families paid for, rarely delivered what they promised. So we built the opposite: small rosters, real coaching, and scouts who actually show up. Every decision still comes back to one question: does this make the player better?”

What sets us apart

What makes us different

Five things that separate DevCo from a typical hockey camp.

Capped Rosters

Most camps
100-plus skaters a session, where most players blend into the crowd.
DevCo
Capped at 40. Coaches learn your game and scouts can follow you all weekend.

Confirmed Scouts

Most camps
Vague talk of "exposure" and stands that stay empty.
DevCo
Scout attendance confirmed in writing before every event: OHL, NCAA D1, USHL, NAHL.

Written Evaluations

Most camps
Silence once the weekend ends, with nothing to build on.
DevCo
A written report and tagged video on every player, delivered within a week.

Pro-Built Curriculum

Most camps
Generic drills run the same way for everyone on the ice.
DevCo
Position-specific sessions designed and run by coaches who played and coached pro.

Select Teams

Most camps
Pay-to-play rosters at watered-down tournaments.
DevCo
Hand-picked teams entered in the top exposure tournaments in North America.

From the stands

Players, parents, alumni

“The feedback was specific and honest. My son left knowing exactly what to work on, and the scouts in the building were real ones.”

OHL Draft FamilyParent

“Four years on, I still use the notes the DevCo coaches gave me at 15. It changed how I read the game.”

NCAA D1 ForwardDevCo Alum

“Every other camp felt like it was about the organizer. This one was about the players, and that's why I kept going back.”
