BE THE FUTURE OF LIBERTY HOCKEY
Liberty University Hockey Camp (LUHC) is run by Liberty’s American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA) coaches and is held at the LaHaye Ice Center in Lynchburg, Va.
LUHC provides the same quality hockey instruction that has pushed the Liberty Men’s and Women’s Hockey programs to the top of the ACHA DI national rankings. Emphasis is placed on preparation, responsibility, devotion, discipline, and sacrifice — the foundations of Liberty’s program. Students learn both on and off the ice through interaction with coaches, counselors, and other campers.
