The 2015 Western Regional High Performance Camp is in the books, and once again it was an incredibly memorable experience for players and staff members alike.
The six-day camp, held on the campus of Colorado College in Colorado Springs, included a collection of over 200 players from three USA Hockey districts: the Pacific, Rocky Mountain, and Northern Plains Districts. The specific states included in those districts are shown to the left.
In all, more than half of the geographic United States was represented at the WRHP Camp, with this year's crop of players having been born in 2001. While most players don't receive an invitation to participate with USA Hockey until they are 15 (this year, that would be the 2000 birth year), the three aforementioned districts came together to establish this camp in the hopes of giving 14-year olds (2001 birth year) an early taste of hockey at this high level, therefore better preparing them for success as they move forward.
