A Training Camp to Remember.
Two iconic cities. International competition. One European training camp built around the Redbirds.
Begin in Munich with practices, team activities and time experiencing Bavaria before heading east into Czechia. From there, take the ice against local and university competition while using Prague as home base for a week of hockey, history and exploration.
It’s a chance to prepare for the season, compete in a completely different hockey environment and come home tighter as a team.
Train Together. Compete Abroad.
Practice together in Germany and Czechia before testing the group against local and university-level opposition on European ice.
Built for the Team.
From an Amazing Race through Prague to team dinners, city experiences and nights together abroad, every stop creates opportunities to connect, compete and come home closer as a group.
Munich & Prague
Mix Bavarian food and Marienplatz with meaningful WWII history before trading Munich for Prague Castle, Charles Bridge and the energy of one of Europe’s great old cities.
