Weekend Clinic Info & Checklist

Weekend Clinic Information

We love your feedback!
"We just got home from the Top Dog weekend clinic in Saint Paul.  It's about a 4 hour drive for us.  I just wanted to say thank you to all the coaches who worked with our son.  He had an amazing time at the clinic and, from watching him, he gained a lot of skills and confidence on the ice. After our experience this summer, we will definitely be looking at the Top Dog schedule next year."
