"After attending several Pro Star camps, we have consistently been impressed with
Nick's improved on-ice abilities as well as his off-ice confidence and maturity.
The structured environment of Pro Star demands accountability and rewards good decision
making. Reinforcing a young man's inner motivation and focus, Pro Star is the place
to train for those players who are serious about getting to the next level. Dale
Dunbar and his staff lead by example and offer a safe, fun and positive environment
for enthusiastic young players to hone their hockey skills and personal development."— Mark Petrecki, father of Nick '89
"Pro Star hockey camp is definitely one of the primary reasons for why I am where
I am today. Dale and his staff have really helped me not only on the ice but with
life lessons and how to be a better person. It’s funny but the one word that really
sticks out in my mind when I think of Pro Star hockey is 'character.' I’m a firm
believer that if you want to be successful in hockey or in life your character will
be a strong determinant. Dale has helped me understand that for as long as I can
remember and for that I owe him a lot of credit.
"As far as the hockey side of things, Pro Star really helped me take my skills to
the next level. I was playing with some of the best kids in the country for my age
level and because of that it helped further my abilities. Dale does a really good
job of identifying each of his player’s weaknesses and helping them to develop those
areas that need improvement.
"I think the most important thing about Pro Star is how it helped me become a better
person. If you are looking for a camp that holds its campers accountable and teaches
them what it takes to succeed in life, then Pro Star is definitely the right choice.
I made friends with kids I still talk to today and those friendships will last a
lifetime. It was a great experience overall and I would definitely go again if I
could do it all over."— Justin Mercier, Colorado Avalanche
draft pick, Miami of Ohio Red Hawks
"Being surrounded by good people at a young age is key. You learn what to do and
what not to do on and off the ice. I feel being surrounded by Dale and his staff
helped me tremendously. I have achieved my goal of playing in the NHL and doing
so at such a very young age you need to be able to know how to act on and off the
ice. Being part of Pro Star as both a player and counselor helped me out in all
aspects of my life and I owe alot to Dale and his staff."— Zach Bogosian, Atlanta
