Bob Woods wanted to give back. So this summer, for the first time, he started a youth hockey camp at the Whitestown arena.
He played for the Utica Devils in the late 80’s and early 90’s and is currently an assistant hockey coach for the Washington Capitals. His wife has family in the Utica area and he visits every summer.
