The kids came from all points on the North American continent - British Columbia, Florida, Virginia, and the New England area, to name just a few. Hugo, who's 7, trained / played with the 8-10 year old group - 8 was the minimum age but Hugo was allowed in because someone connected to the camp was aware of his abilities - he's playing with a 9-10 year old (Squirts) team this coming season - so he was allowed to participate.
It was a great experience for Hugo, not only hockey wise, but also making new friends from far away places wise. And, quite a few of those new friends were absolutely thrilled to be training/ playing on the Miracle On Ice ice.
