Camp started on Friday afternoon with 9 skaters and a goalie. We have one exceptional mite, two PWs, two Bantams and five midgets.
Eight hours down, sixteen hours to go! Anyone who wants to jump on this train can still join us for an unbelievable 16 hours of training with a small group and a talented staff of hockey coaches, including Kasie Strong-Fairbarn, Ryan Fairbarn and Joyce Strong.
Four hours go by quickly when you are doing something you love to do!
After each session I better understand why there are so few great players with so many people playing hockey. Few train at hockey like it's their job. Guess that's why so few get to fill in that block on their tax return HOCKEY PLAYER.
This week TEN brave kids stepped up and decided to play hockey like it was their job. These ten may never get to play professional hockey, but guaranteed any hockey player who has ever played professionally has put in these hours of play, playing hockey like it was their job.
We gave away our first Strong Dynamics Hockey cap to Julian today, the MITE, who was able to name all nine fakes we taught them today, including one named after, you know, "that Canadian guy." I guess it's pretty hard to impress a hardworking mite like Julian!
See you in the morning for the next session!
Coach Joyce
