Here is what a first year participant had to say:

Dear GP,

Just got back home from the Elite camp and boy am I ever tired. Mom and dad look pretty bushed but smiling as well. They never stopped talking about the camp all the way home, probably the best ride home in years! I never realized the amount of effort that goes into becoming an elite athlete wanting to play for Team Canada or in the NWHL. WOW what an eye opener and I have already decided to start working my plan through contacting schools and getting into the gym to develop my core strength-conditioning plan.

The seminars on Time Management and Stress were very usefull and eye opening to say the least, I'm pretty sure when I wake up each day now I will now exactly what i would like to get out of the day...those mini goals should be easy to accomplish(:>) My favorite time was listening to Team Canada Head Coach Karen Hughes speaking about the recruitment process and everything that's involved.

The presentations from Cheryl Pounder, Geraldine Heaney, Sami-Jo Small about their perspective on becoming an elite athlete was just incredible, heart warming, passionate and exciting. I never thought I would ever get that emotional while watching a video of Team Canada play, I get goose bumps even when typing right now.

I can't say enough about Mr. Dufton and what he did for me as a player. His encouragment and devotion to female hockey just blew me away and never realized he had been doing this for 25 years. As you said, "Our parents are here now for emotional and financial support...the future is now in our hands" well I am starting my future now by confirming my committment to following this plan. The camp was just top notch and will be recommending it to all A-AA-AAA players as my coach is great but unfortunately they just did not know all this stuff about what i need to do and hearing it first hand was exactly what i needed to hear in my life.

Thank you so much for the invite it will be top priority on my list of Must Do's for next summer.

Here's what a parent had to say:

GP,
We are home just about a week since my girls attended the Aeros Elite Camp and I wanted you to know that they haven't stopped talking about what an exceptional experience the had. The information and instruction received from sources that have lived the dreams of my girls is invaluable and has truly inspired both to "light the fire within". Ken Dufton's hockey knowledge and coaching style truly facilitated the confidence and talent of each player there. This is a "One-of-a-kind" type of camp and will quickly become known as the camp that the highest-level women hockey athletes must have and will have attended. We should build on the CAN-AM relationship, as the information is applicable no matter which side of the border one resides. We look forward to seeing you again next year. Ruth Hamlin (Mom), New York USA
