Matthew Schaefer to Headline Matt Martin Hockey Camp at Northwell Ice Center

This summer, young hockey enthusiasts will have the chance to skate alongside New York Islanders players at Matt Martin’s Hockey Camp, taking place from August 17 to 21 at the Northwell Ice Center, the Islanders’ practice facility. With Martin leading the charge, attendees can expect an unforgettable experience filled with skill development and fun.

Adding to the excitement is the anticipated appearance of rookie sensation Matthew Schaefer. After being drafted just two months prior to last season’s camp, Schaefer expressed disappointment about missing the opportunity to participate. At just 17 years old, he could have either been a camper or a counselor-in-training, and as the season wrapped up, he teased fans with a hint of his plans for the summer.

“There might be a surprise visit coming,” Schaefer told The Hockey News, leaving many to speculate about his participation. That surprise has now been confirmed, as Schaefer will join Martin and other Islanders players throughout the week, ensuring that young fans will create lasting memories on the ice.

For parents eager to register their kids for this unique experience, opportunities abound to develop their skills while having fun in a supportive environment. Don’t miss out on the chance for your child to learn from some of the best in the game.
