 All World Hockey Camps are directed by former professional NHL hockey player and Team U.S.A. player Craig Norwich. A longtime European, Junior-A, Bantam and Midget AAA coach, Norwich has led hockey programs all over the world. Norwich had the opportunity to play for some of the greatest coaches in the world, including Herb Brooks, Bob Johnson, John Mariucci, Willard ikola and several other national and olympic coaches from Czechslovakia, Sweden, Finland and Slovenia.
In 1990 after retiring from European Professional Hockey, he envisioned, created, and directed the Hockey program at Shattuck-St. Mary’s School in Faribault, Minnesota until 1996.
Norwich left Shattuck to build, create and direct the Vail Elite Hockey Program which he directed from 1996 to 2000.
Norwich then moved to Santa Monica, California to be the skills development director and head coach for the LA Junior Kings.
In 2003 Norwich returned to Edina, Minnesota and created a spring and summer youth hockey development program called the Minnesota Rockets which he directed until 2006 when the program had reached almost 300 participants.
In 2005 Norwich signed a multi-year contract with SPA to save a storied program that had dwindled to a mere 13 players. After 5 seasons and growing the program to 43 players and winning the most games (15) in over twenty seasons, Norwich decided it was time to move on and is taking his R.A.R.E. style of developing male and female hockey players into more competitive players who are more desired by teams at the next level, to new locations like San Diego, California and South Florida.
On January 2nd, 2010 Norwich with a heavy heart, resigned from SPA realizing that the current administration had no intention of allowing him to build a tier one hockey program comprised of top student athletes who could then move on to higher learning institutions and continue to play the game they love at prestigious colleges and universities. |
