All family members have enjoyed successful hockey careers and, more importantly, are superb instructors. We pride ourselves in producing a high speed, high intensity, and high-energy hockey experience. We have created a curriculum and teaching syllabus that has been carefully designed using a progressive ‘Total Skills Development Training Model’. It is our goal to create drills that challenge our students, effectively utilize the ice surface, build off a progression, and are fun. We are all truly passionate about hockey and, more importantly, your development as a person. If you are looking for the "complete" hockey experience while being pushed beyond your comfort zone…DHD is the experience for you!
Why did the name change from The “OV” Hockey School to Donskov Hockey Development?
The “OV” Hockey School was founded in May of 2000. “OV” was the nickname given to the Donskov brothers during their junior hockey careers in southwestern Ontario, hence our founding name, The “OV” Hockey School. Over the years we experienced considerable growth and demand. Our services now include not only summer camps but also specialized clinics, coaching education, consulting, curriculum/program development and strength and conditioning (www.donskovsc.com). Due to the growth and diversity of services we are now officially known as Donskov Hockey Development.
In keeping with our tradition and legacy, on the last day of each camp, participants will play for The “OV” Challenge Cup.

Who will be the instructors on and off the ice during the week?
DHD prides itself in its camp instruction. We do our very best to have four Head Instructors (Paul, Misha, Anthony, and Matt Donskov) on (and off) the ice at all times. This ratio along with small group sizes and participants segmented based on skill allows us to maintain a low student/instructor ratio and effectively teach and motivate your son/daughter. We are proud of our team and the passion, energy, and experience we bring to each camp. Outstanding qualifications, a strong work ethic, and a genuine concern for teaching and promoting the game of hockey to our athletes, are all characteristics of The DHD Team.
