The exposure from this showcase gives the participants a great experience along with excellent opportunities to be seen by numerous coaches and scouts. With exposure from JPS along with Coach Buetow's coaching contacts a large majority of the participants have been offered positions in a higher level of hockey. According to Coach Buetow, attending JPS is like attending over 60 individual camps, thus saving money and yet maximizing player's exposure! You and your parents will gain information and knowledge about the various hockey programs in attendance through our seminars along with information regarding NCAA rules, clearing house and recruitment for your player. Coaches, GM's, and scout in attendance will participate in the seminars and will be able to give you information on their programs along answer any questions you may have. JPS will provide specialize/individual goalie instruction both on ice and in the classroom. This is the 3rd year we have teamed up the Planet Hockey to select players for a bantam,midget and junior teams to participate in training and games in Europe.

Testimonials:
George Gwozdecky Head Hockey Coach, University of Denver
“At the University of Denver we are proud that 33% of our hockey team is comprised of players from the state of Colorado and therefore I am supportive of any opportunity that gives young hockey players from our state a chance to develop and received exposure to the Junior A hockey coaches as well as college hockey programs. Brad Buetow has played and coached at the highest level of NCAA Division I college competition and knows what it takes to play at this level.”
Kevin Hartzell GM/Head Coach Sioux Falls Stampede USHL
“Brad Buetow, Director of JPS, was my college coach when I played at the University of Minnesota and I feel that with Brad’s contacts JPS is one of the top exposure camps for juniors, prep, midget and college scouts. We will enjoy coming out and feel it is very worthwhile.”
Dean Blais Head Coach University of Nebraska, Omaha, NE
National Champion Div-I UND, Gold Medal USA Jr. 09’
“We are looking forward to scouting players out of the JPS showcase. The competition is excellent and there will be several scouts/coaches from all the junior A and college levels.”
Joe Bonnett Assistant Coach Colorado College
“I believe Coach Buetow is one of the hardest working youth coaches/recruiters in the country. Brad is well connected and visible within the hockey community. Brad is motivated to develop and expose local and non-traditional hockey players to Midget AAA, Junior and NCAA Hockey. Brad’s camp is the first step.”
Luke Salazar Division I player - Denver University
“Brad Buetow, who was my midget coach, along with participating in JPS was very instrumental in getting me seen and having Denver University (Division I) offer me a spot on their team.”
John Marks Head Coach/GM Fargo Force (USHL)
“Excellent Showcase! JPS exposure showcase really puts kids on the radar for future hockey opportunities. I will be attending it along with Other USHL coaches.”
Tim Kihle - Parent (N. Dakota)
“I just wanted to pass along to you my sincere thanks for putting on a showcase that was all that it said it would be. My son, Zach, spoke with several different organizations. My son went to other showcases and they didn’t even compare to the one you just ran. The talent wasn’t close nor was the presence of all the different organizations. Zach got on the “radar” of several teams and that’s all we could ask for - a showcase that actually did what it promoted. Thanks again for a well run event and I look forward to Zach attending in the future.”
Pete Sauer Head Coach/GM Aberdeen Wings (NAHL)
“Our organization has attended JPS for several years and will continue to. We have recruited many players from JPS, along with several other NAHL teams
