Whitehorse hockey players were in fine form Sunday at the conclusion of the Yukon High Performance Conditioning and Evaluation Camp.

The seven-day camp wrapped up with a game that was played between players in the Midget/Junior and Bantam categories.

"This whole entire visit for us and our group was outstanding and very positive," said Dino Caputo, the owner of High Performance Hockey.

"The hospitality, how welcoming everybody was, the work ethic that the kids displayed, everything. I know I don't even have to ask twice, the majority of the guys if they can make it, they are going to come back."

The camp was organized by Whitehorse's Jakub Jirousek and offered to three different age levels. The three different levels included Midget/Junior, Bantam and PeeWee. The purpose was to provide exposure to athletes interested in trying out for junior camps as well as to increase the skill and development of younger hockey players.

The Yukon's High Performance Hockey Camp was taught by high level coaches and scouts.

The camp featured a combination of practice and game play for participants. Games varied between two 25 minute periods and the more traditional three 20 minute periods.

There were a total of six coaches at the Yukon camp and 67 players were divided among the three age groups. The youngest player at the camp was 10 years old, but the most of the players were between the ages of 12 to 20.

One of the main differences between the Yukon camp from other instructional sessions held by High Performance Hockey was the fact that it was a little bit more focussed with improving the players overall skill level. Other camps put on by High Performance Hockey are geared more towards conditioning, where the main goal is to prepare the participants for upcoming junior tryouts.

Organizers of the camp are hoping to make it an annual event in Whitehorse and are looking to hold it around the second week of July for next year.

Among the changes could include a greater use of the Canada Games Centre, including the pool, weight room and track area.
