Ever since I’ve been playing hockey I have attended hockey schools and camps over the summer. The summer after my last year of Bantam AA, I attended WHD. It was the school’s first year. I was looking forward to being taught by pro hockey players, but other than that, I had no idea what to expect. Well, I found out that Westlake was much more than just that. I learned more about hockey in that one week than I had over my lifetime.

I have been a part of Westlake since the first summer Carl and Matt held the camp. The camp is an absolute diamond in the rough. I learned so much from Carl, Matt, and the rest of the experienced staff they had working with us. The staff has experience from almost every level in hockey possible from prep school to the NHL. The camp made a tremendous impact on me as a person and a player.

During my hockey season, I kept thinking about wanting to play Midget AAA for the Lac St. Louis Lions for the next season. I worked hard and in the summer of 2007, I got a call from Westlake Hockey Development to come to their program. It was the best choice I made...
