LA Kings Camp Takes on Utah and Montana

The LA Kings Hockey Development staff had a busy summer traveling across the northwestern United States, continuing a string of camps known as the Mountain Town Series. The staff, who was joined by LA Kings alumni, worked with groups in Montana and Utah over the summer months.

At the Stumptown Ice Den in Whitefish, Montana, LA Kings Alumni Derek Armstrong set the pace for the first camp with an on-ice curriculum that included shooting, passing, skating and stickhandling. The week-long camp focused on developing all aspects of each participant's game
Over thirty-five players from various states across the west coast and Canada came together for five days of fun.

"Working with the kids in Whitefish was an awesome experience. Hockey is taking off in Montana and it was really important to provide an elite NHL-style youth hockey camp in the Montana hockey community," said Hockey Development Coordinator Cody von Rueden.
Campers celebrated the end of a successful week with a competitive scrimmage and giveaways of LA Kings signed memorabilia!

The LA Kings Hockey Development had a rewarding experience working with the youth hockey community in Park City at their first camp in January, so, they returned for the first ever week-long Kings Camp Park City.
Coached by LA Kings Alumni Kyle Calder and Derek Armstrong, the Park City camp included two hours of on-ice instruction, one hour of dryland and lunch each day.
Each player received a camp jersey, bag full of swag, and the opportunity to participate in a Q&A session with Kyle and Derek.

"We have built a fantastic relationship with Park City and the Utah hockey community. To date, we have worked with over 100 kids from our two camps in Park City. Utah hockey is growing at a rapid rate, and we have been fortunate to help with their growth in the game. The future is bright for the LA Kings and Park City, and we look forward to building new programming for the years to come," von Ruden explained.
To continue to momentum built in Utah, the Kings will be playing a
