Travel Program (Spring)
Spring Travel Program Details
Who Can Participate: The VHG Travel Program is typically reserved for players who take part in our Small Group Skills Training program, Jr Purple program and/or programming throughout the calendar year. However, VHG has added players from outside the program in the past and will go outside the boundaries of the program if spaces need to be filled.
What Comes With the Travel Program (2025)
Once the team(s) are selected, VHG offers a Spring Travel Package to players that includes*:
*** Practice/game time leading up to the off-island trip (7 hours*)
*** Custom jersey/hockey socks
*** Tournament and coaches fees
*** Attire (1 hoodie, 1 t-shirt, 1 pair of athletic shorts)
*** Team meal during the trip
*** One (1) hour training session @ Power Conditioning
*** Two (2) Hockey Homework Stickhandling Videos
*** One (1) Off-Ice Seminar (examples – hockey pathways, hockey nutrition)
*** Player insurance
*** The above items are packaged together for a fee to VHG. All other costs (hotel in travel destination, rental vehicle, airfare, gas, personal spending money) are separate costs that the players and families are responsible for. If travelling with close friends, sharing a rental vehicle and hotel fares can help reduce cost of the trip.
