“This has turned into one of the can’t-miss exposure camps of the summer…we feel that we have put together an outstanding group of coaches to make sure you are being seen by many of the top programs in North America.“

Mark Carlson – Head coach, Cedar Rapids Roughriders (USHL)
Great Western Futures Super Camp, LLC is proud to announce we have secured USHL head coaches, WHL head coaches, BCHL head coaches, NAHL head coaches, minor pro coaches, and NCAA Division I coaches, each to coach a team in the Showcase. In addition to the coaches that coach in the camp we have about 30 to 40 other teams that have scouted this event in the past and have indicated that they plan on recruiting this event again. The teams included Junior A Tier 1, 2 and 3, Major Junior, college Division I and III, and club as well as some professional teams. Do not be shy about calling some of the coaches that are listed here or on other showcase event sites. We feel that this camp has a staff that is outstanding. If you can only get to one exposure camp this summer this camp will be well worth your money and time. We understand that their are many exposure camps out there to choose from. When picking the camp or camps you will be attending, make sure the coaches you want to be scouted by are actually going to be there. This camp has turned into a can’t-miss for exposure camps in the summer for the player looking for more exposure to USHL, WHL, BCHL and NAHL coaches as well as many other junior and college coaches.
