B.E.S.A. Camps 2024 – A Huge Success!

The B.E.S.A. Camps 2024 were a massive success! Over 100 talented players participated in the intensive training sessions, making significant progress. Their development was impressively reflected in the results of our unique “COMPEX” CHL/NHL On-Ice Tests.

Once again in 2024, numerous highly talented players took part in the camps in Arosa, eager to see how they can further advance their careers. Some of the 2024 success stories include:

• Vinzenz Rohrer, Swiss champion with ZSC and awarded “Youngster of the Year.”
• Chris and Phil Baltisberger, Swiss champions again with ZSC.
• Giancarlo Chanton, winner of the Champions League with Genève-Servette.
• Simon Knak, called up to the A-National team.
• Lorenzo Canonica, who made it into the U23 National team.
• Timo Bünzli, who signed a professional contract with the ZSC Lions.
• Brian Zanetti, who signed a professional contract with the SCL Tigers and will play with HC Lugano starting in the 2025/2026 season.

These and many other players have participated in our skating camps multiple times. Every National League club has at least one player who has trained with us in Arosa, and around 100 players from the National League or Swiss League have gained valuable experience in our camps.

In 2025, we will celebrate the 15th anniversary of the B.E.S.A. Power Skating Camp in Arosa, and the demand is already high. There are only a few spots left for the camp from June 7 to 10, 2025, as well as for the camp for the youngest participants from June 19 to 22, 2025. We are looking forward to welcoming highly motivated players again next year and helping them further develop through intensive training.

Unique On-Ice Test – “Benchmark” Analysis

Our On-Ice Test, used in every camp, is unique in Europe. The “Benchmark” analysis is the core of this test and provides detailed insights into a player’s strengths and weaknesses. So far, 19 NHL-drafted players, including four first-round picks like Lucas Raymond, who recently signed an 8-year, $65 million contract with the Detroit Red Wings, have participated in our test. His exceptional talents were immediately recognized. Thanks to our comparison index, we can identify and specifically promote talent from all age groups at an early stage.
