2011 Western Elite Hockey Camp Dates

We are pleased to announce that our 2011 camp dates have been finalized.
July 13th to Saturday July 16th in Edmonton Alberta.
The previous 2 years our camp has been held on the final weekend of July, which has caused some conflicts for our attendees going to WHL camps the days following. This date adjustment for 2011 should take care of those concerns.
We have once again been flooded with applications for the 2011 camp. We will be out to the rinks to view as many players as possible.
Currently, only 6 roster positions are available.

2011 Camp in the works

Plans for the 2011 Western Elite Hockey Camp have begun.

With only 7 roster positions remaining for 2011, we will be at the rinks this coming season to scout the best 1996 and 1997 born talent that Western North America has to offer. Any organisations/parents wishing to have your elite players scouted please contact us.
The dates and schedule will be finalized over the next 4 weeks.
The 2010 camp had an incredibly talented roster, we expect 2011 to follow the same standard.

Ready To Roll

We are just hours away from the start of the 2010 Wetsern Elite Hockey Camp. We are excited to meet our old friends and make new ones. See you all Thursday at noon.

Seminar

On Saturday July 31st before the prospects game, we will be holding the coaches / parents / players seminar  with coach Darryl at 5:15 to 6:30.
The meeting will be held at the Blair Oko Golf Academy Lounge which overlooks the rink (Kinsmen Arena). As the seminar will be held at supper time, Blair Oko has offered to set up a “pizza buffet” for our seminar. Cost will be $8 per person to have pizza and drinks/refreshments (to be collected at registration).

Please let me know if you wish to attend the seminar so I can let Blair know how much pizza to prepare. I strongly recommend that all parents attend the seminar as Coach Darryl will be touching on many important topics in regard to your son’s future.

Non camp attendees are welcome to join in and learn from Coach Darryl, please let us know if you wish to attend.
