Player & Family Testimonials

 

- Kevin Morrison, Weyburn Red Wings, SJHL

 

Well, a big thanks goes out to you and Zac and the whole USJDP crew for helping me out this year. Looks like I'm going to Alaska! I'm extremely excited and am thrilled about the opportunity. Just wanted to thank you for all your help and for running such an awesome camp. I made the team last night in Minnesota. Looks like a great team with a bunch of good guys and I think I'll be able to play a big roll. I had quite a good camp and I'm now looking forward to August 25th when I report.

- Derek Whitehill, Alaska Avalanche, NAHL

 

I cannot thank the guys at USJDP enough. Not only did they put on a great Junior camp, but the delivered on the coaches they promised would be there. Thanks to this camp, I was noticed by a member of the Chicago Hitmen coaching staff and they apparently liked what they saw, invited me to main camp, and I made the team!. Thank you USJDP!

- Ricky Doubrava, Chicago Hitmen, NAHL

 

My son thought this was the best camp that he has ever attended. He came back from camp saying that he wanted to do at least two weeks next year.

- Craig Powers, Detroit Compuware AAA

 

I cannot thank you enough for putting on such a great camp. I credit you and your camp with improving his ability to see the ice and react to opportunities with greater accuracy and speed.  We will definitely see you again next year for at least two weeks.

- Blake Pace, Wisconsin Devils AAA

 

All the coaches helped me with my game a lot. They all had useful information and taught me a lot of new things to help me going forward. I look forward to going again next year.

- Sam Cimino, San Jose Jr. Sharks AAA

 

The coaching staff was excellent. We were quite impressed with the level of professionalism and commitment to teaching exhibited by the coaches on and off the ice, as well as the professional trainers during off-ice sessions. We are especially thankful to coach Paris, as his expertise and patience with the players is highly commendable.

- Ruth Hiedorn, Wisconsin Mustangs Jr. B

 

The daily camp schedule was organized well for maximum training and conditioning. We feel that we made the best choice in camps for our son with USJDP in Boulder. He commented that this was the best camp he's been to and that he learned and practiced so much more than any of the other camps he's participated in over the past six years.

Thank you for the wonderful experience. We look forward to participating again next summer.

- John Fluerant, New Jersey Rockets AAA

 

Thanks for all your hard work putting the camp together. I had great time working hard and learned a lot. Your staff did an excellent job. 

- Dave Scott, Chicago, IL

 

I felt the DU Campus was a great facility to have the camp at. Dorms were good, food sounded good, and the environment was tremendous. I believe the supervision and schedule made sure opportunities for "trouble" were minimal. The kids had a chance to meet dedicated hockey players from many different areas. It was a very good camp with a great schedule. 

- D. Peterson, Northwood Prep

 

This was the best camp my son has attended. We couldn't believe it but the entire staff was made up of Jr. A coaches. These coaches provided my sons with exceptional, professional instruction, invaluable exposure, and expert advice and guidance to our family on the subtleties of Junior hockey. It is about time there was a camp geared towards the needs of Bantam AA players and older!

- Christine Ikkala, Philadelphia, PA

 

My son Corbin attended the Prep Camp for three years, and the European Tour for one, and all I can say is how great a program this is! In fact Corbin has been scouted by the USHL, NHL and NAHL and I have USJDP to thank for the early exposure to these Leagues. He just signed the first tender offered from the TAK Bandits for 2006/07. I highly recommend the U.S. Junior Development Program to anyone striving to get to Junior hockey.

- Bev McPherson, Folsom, CA

 

I have been involved with hockey in Colorado for over 25 years, and even run my own program, and this is the best camp I have seen so far. My kid got more out of it than any camp he has ever been to and the quality of the coaching staff was second to none, which is obvious considering who they were. It was a great experience all the way around and he will definitely be going back again next year!

- Greg Ahbe, Colorado Thunderbirds AAA 

 

The coaching staff was excellent. We were quite impressed with the level of professionalism and commitment to teaching exhibited by the coaches on and off the ice, as well as the professional trainers during off-ice sessions. We are especially thankful to Coach Paris, as his expertise and patience with the players is highly commendable.

- Tara Miller, Denver, CO

 

Your positive energy and unconditional support is unparalleled in hockey sphere. I am very glad we met you and feel very blessed to have crossed your path. Thank you for all you have done for our son!

- Marina Tzortzakis, Chicago, IL.

 

The daily camp schedule was organized well for maximum training and conditioning. We feel that we made the best choice in camps for our son with USJDP in the USA. He commented that this was the best camp he's been to and that he learned and practiced so much more than any of the other camps he's participated in. Thank you for the wonderful experience. We look forward to participating again next summer.

- Bonnie & Ivan Valek, Slovakia

 

This was a great camp - we had a lot of fun and good conditioning for the summer. It is an excellent way to prepare for the upcoming season and the Swiss Tour.

- Nancy Wisti-Grayson, Chicago, IL.

 

There was no doubt this way the best camp that Cody has attended, the most professionally run and the best coaches. It was worth every penny and then some. Thanks, Cody is a whole lot better player because of your camp.

- Luann Gutierrez, Albuquerque, NM

 

I wanted to express my appreciation for you taking interest in John. That all speaks very highly of your interest in the boys - nothing is more important. You went to some trouble on his behalf. Thank you.
