“Growing up in the Withrow area has made me who I am today, and if there is any community I am happy to give back to, it is Withrow Park. This summer camp will give the local kids a chance to play ball hockey all summer long, and grow the Withrow dynasty to an even greater level. It gives me great honour to be apart of this program and I look forward to watching the outcome.”

“Hi I’m Blake and I’m super excited to be back with the Withrow Ball Hockey Academy this summer. I’ve been on skates since I was two years old and have played hockey every year since. I’m looking forward to our themed weeks and field trips and plan to bring a fun attitude for campers every day. My experience and hockey IQ will help teach campers how to think both on and off the pad.”
