PREPARATION FOR ‘AAA’ SELECTION CAMP
The participants of this camp will be the first groups of the year to jump on the ice of the E&P Senechal Centre. This camp is a short three-day camp to prepare players for the elite-level selection process of the region’s U15 AAA teams (Northwest Bulls). The three on-ice sessions will be held during the week of August 29th. Battle drills and conditioning drills will be at the forefront during this high-intensity camp. All exercises will be to facilitate a competitive mentality to prepare each athlete for the upcoming evaluations.
We will spend some time on bodychecking techniques on how to give a hit and take a hit. For some minor-year players, this will be their first season playing the game with contact and can cause apprehension. Proper technique will render this transition easier for the athletes.
