THANK YOU FROM THE WOOG FAMILY AND THE CROWN HOCKEY AND WOOG HOCKEY CAMP STAFF!
Thank you to the players and their families who were a part of our Crown Hockey family over the years! We have decided to “retire” the Crown Hockey program as of 2020. This past spring/summer was challenging and not what any of us had expected or hoped for, but the pandemic helped us to have an even greater understanding of how important the health and safety of our families and friends is.
Woog Hockey Camps have had an amazing run – more than 35 years of working together as a family and running hockey camps for young kids. Power skating camps in the 80’s, overnight camps in northern Minnesota in the 90’s and then last but not least, Crown Hockey! Doug Woog created Woog Hockey Camps to help develop kids into better players and better people. We are proud that we accomplished both! We are starting our next chapter knowing we had amazing players, supportive parents, dedicated and talented staff and most importantly, we had a great time with all of you on and off of the ice.
Thank you for helping to make Crown Hockey such a special and memorable program. We look forward to seeing all of you at the rink soon! ❤️👑🏒
THIS IS CROWN HOCKEY!
Committed to work hard! * Respectful to all! * One for team * Willing to sacrifice! * Never give up!

Crown Hockey is a Spring/Summer hockey development program. Crown Hockey is unique...we are an invite only program. We look for players that want to work hard to become better hockey players. Our players are coachable kids that are respectful of others and great team players. Crown Hockey hosts both girls and boys teams, with players primarily from the Southeast metro area. Depending on age level, our program runs during the months of April, May and August. We don't skate in the months of June and July - we want our players to take that summer break! Our home rink is the Inver Grove Heights Ice Area at the Veteran's Memorial Community Center.

Our development camps have been successful because of our uncompromising philosophy of “Hockey Excellence and Fun”, and our talented and dedicated staff has made us stand out among the many hockey options out there.

· 1984 Assistant Olympic Coach in Sarajevo

Crown Hockey started with one team 9 years ago when Doug Woog decided he wanted to run a summer program where all 8 of his grandchildren (7 of which are girls!) would have the chance to play some summer hockey, have fun and be coached well. It began with the oldest granddaughter and in a short time, Crown Hockey has grown exponentially. "We have expanded our Crown Hockey family, "said Doug, "We offer something pretty special to young people and their families who want high quality coaching, a positive environment and great competition."
