Mission
statement.
Paragon Sports Development's mission is to create elite summer development camps across North America to provide an unparalleled off-season experience. Our emphasis will be on development, education, and competition. Combining an elite coaching staff and leading industry professionals at premier venues will provide our players a unique opportunity. They will learn from the best, have the opportunity to showcase themselves to them, and leave camp smarter hockey players with more of the tools they will need to achieve their goals. Additionally, they will gain a true understanding of what it takes to play at the highest levels.
Get StartedDEVELOPMENT THAT WORKS.
DEVELOPMENT
CAMPS.
Our development camps will redefine off-season player development. Players will train with and learn from the best coaches and professionals in the game. These camps will be intimate with a maximum of 8 players per coach. This will provide sufficient time to focus on a variety of aspects of development, including individual skills, team-oriented sessions, games, seminars, and off-ice workouts.
Why Are We Different?
Our developments camps have a singular focus, player development. Paragon Sports Development is redefining player development by creating an exclusive, elite training environment for camp participants. By keeping the camps small, we will ensure players get real value from the experience. We are driven by the desire to create an elite developmental, educational, and competitive environment unmatched in the industry.
FOUNDED BY
COLBY DROST.
Conceived in August 2021, Paragon Sports Development was created to provide an educational environment unmatched by any off-season spring/summer junior tryout, showcase, or combine. PSD’s camps will bring together elite coaches, industry leading professionals, and talented players in an extremely competitive environment.
Paragon Sports Development’s mission is to Redefine Player Development. It will set the standard for providing development, exposure, and competition.

JUNIOR & COLLEGE PREPARATION.
Camp attendees will participate in a variety of on and off-ice sessions that will help them understand the preparation necessary to compete at the highest levels of junior and college hockey. Our clients will leave the program understanding what will be expected of them at the higher levels.
INVESTING IN YOUR DEVELOPMENT.
Each spring and summer, players are inundated with invitations to play in tournaments, showcases, and tryout camps. Let’s take a look at some numbers and calculate how much time players really have to invest in their off-season development. Suppose a player competes in 3 events in the month of July, which require roughly 12 days (including travel and the event).
This player will have spent almost 40% of the month at these events. Add in a couple of days for rest and recovery after each event. Now, 18 days are accounted for, or roughly 60% of the month. The player has only 13 days left to train in the month of July. What we know is that the key to a truly transformative off-season is time spent in the gym and working on skills. As this example demonstrates, attending more than a couple of select events makes this nearly impossible.
