Cranbrook, BC – The Kootenay ICE Hockey Club will open their 2009 Western Hockey League Training Camp Thursday, August 27 at 10:00 am. This year’s Training Camp will once again combine rookie-aged players (players born in 1994), with veteran players (players born in 1989 to 1993). All ice sessions will take place at the Cranbrook Rec Plex.
“Training Camp is an exciting start to the season. The camp provides the opportunity for our coaches and scouting staff to see and evaluate our recently drafted players, while monitoring the progress of our veteran and list players. With a smaller number of athletes attending camp, we expect the competition level to be very high,” commented Director of Scouting Garnet Kazuik.
A total of 75 players have been invited to Training Camp, including 19 returning players from last years team. All Training Camp sessions will be open to the public.
