I just returned from a 4-day 2.0 camp run by Kevin McKinnon, held in Renfrew, Canada, roughly an hour west of Ottawa, with my eleven-year-old son. This was my son’s first on-ice experience with Kevin and, other than seeing him on 2.0 videos, we didn’t really know what to expect. We have been involved with the 2.0 program for 8 months and had a basic understanding of the mechanics they teach.Our trip to Renfrew had its challenges: our flight was delayed by 6 hours and then canceled due to weather, so we rented a car at the airport and drove for 7.5 hours. We arrived at 2:30 a.m., and my son was on the ice that morning from 10:30 to 12:30 pm with a 10-minute break for an ice cut each day. My son and I made a huge commitment to get to Renfrew, and boy, was it worth it! Kevin was humble and approachable, but what really struck me was the fluidity of his skating mechanics; the speed he can generate with so little effort is incredible. You can tell immediately that he has mastered these 2.0 mechanics: the players can’t take their eyes off him; he is in absolute control of that rink; and the kids respond. Every day, it was a high-intensity, fun environment for the players, and Kevin’s ability to articulate and demonstrate these mechanics was something I’ve never seen before. Every moment on that ice for two hours a day, tremendous amounts of mechanics were being shared; it was priceless.We also booked Kevin for 1-hour private lessons while we were there, which I highly recommend. He walks through all the mechanics and uses video to show and correct while on the ice.If you are serious about improving your hockey mechanics, or looking to give your child a leg up, Kevin is a must.We are currently planning our return visit in 3 months…Tom Murray

I had an amazing experience at hockey camp this year. The coaches were knowledgeable, supportive, and helped me improve my skating, shooting, and overall game skills.

A second to none camp and skating experience. The range of ages at the camp was surprising but Kevin ensured that every player was challenged and improved multiple facets of their skating and edge work over the weekend. Not a camp for players not serious about their development or not willing to put in some grueling reps.

Working with Coach Kevin was an incredible experience for my son, Oliver. He had the opportunity to spend a long weekend training with him, and the level of coaching, attention to detail, and professionalism was outstanding.One thing that really stood out was how Coach Kevin incorporated technology into the training. He would film Oliver during drills, review the footage with him, and immediately make corrections on the spot. Being able to visually show exactly what needed to be adjusted — and explain why — made a huge difference in Oliver’s understanding and development.Coach Kevin also knew how to push Oliver to challenge himself and work beyond his comfort zone, while still providing the tools, guidance, and encouragement needed to improve. The balance between demanding hard work and creating a positive learning environment was excellent.Beyond being a great coach, he was incredibly friendly, patient, and approachable. Oliver genuinely enjoyed every minute of the experience and came away motivated and excited to continue improving his game.We only wish we lived closer so Oliver could continue training with Coach Kevin regularly. We will absolutely be coming back for more training in the future and highly recommend him to any player looking to take their game to the next level.
