Hockey Camp Wrap Up

With the conclusion of camp last night I just wanted to say again how pleased I was with the level of effort and attitude all week. It was evident that you listened to the instructors and tried to apply the principles and skills that were being taught. Even though everyone was not always successful at the implementation of these skills no one ever quit trying, which for a coach was awesome to see.

It was very evident that some of you have been training hard in preparation of the upcoming season and some not so much. We need everyone to be on the same page and be in top condition when next season rolls around. So please keep up the momentum we started last week (on and off the ice) through August and our fall season.

Thanks again for your time and effort last week I hope you truly had a fun time and learned a lot. I would also like to say a special Thank You to Bill Wilkinson for his on ice instruction, Jason Clement for his on ice instruction and for his help behind the scenes with organizing this week, Dave Samalik who did the screen printing on the jersey at the last second, and to Bill Michaels for his help with ordering jerseys, booking ice, and taking registrations. If you see these guys please thank them for their efforts.

Just remember that HARD WORK WILL ALWAYS BEAT TALENT, WHEN TALENT DOES NOT WORK HARD!
