Director of Scouting Garnet Kazuik
First impressions of training camp
"You can definitely see the nervousness in the players and the quietness in the players. It takes them a couple days to warm up and start getting a little bit vocal and feeling a little bit more comfortable off the ice and that will translate on to the ice. Hopefully here on day 2 we'll start to see a little bit more of that on the ice, they feel a little bit more comfortable, they've got those nerves out and we should see some improvements today."
Benefits of veterans playing with and against prospects
"It sets a standard with the veterans and the rookies. It gives the rookies the opportunity to see how our veterans come into camp in shape, what they train, what it takes to play at this level. They get to be in the same room with them, mingle with them, talk with them and I think that's an invaluable experience as they move forward. It'll turn them into a better player as they go back to their midget teams."
How many prospects have a chance to play this year
"Up front we have approximately 3 or 4 positions available. We're looking at 6 or 7 guys to hopefully earn those spots. Same on the back end, we're looking at 3,4 or 5 prospects to obtain a couple of those spots. They're in a battle, they know it, we've communicated that with them very clearly prior to training camp and they know where they stand and they know who they're competing with. It's going to be interesting over the next 3,4 days here and moving forward into the exhibition phase."
Vets have to be ready to keep their spots
"Absolutely, the veterans know there's not a lot of open spots too. Anytime you come to training camp whether your a veteran or a rookie you're always competing for your spot or to obtain another spot by moving up the depth chart. I think competition is good amongst the veterans as well."
The excitement of training camp
"I think training camp is one of the best times of the year. You can see the smile on the veterans faces when they come into the room, they're all happy to see each other, they're happy to see the coaches and the staff. Much like the scouts, we enjoy it as well. My guys are just as happy and excited to be here. It's a very exciting time for all involved."
Message to players
"The message is clear with us and we always tell them, any player we draft or invite to training camp is that they all have a skill set that they do and they do it very well. We say, do what you do and do it well and we stress that. We don't want somebody to play a different game than they normally do and are good at. If they're a goal scorer we want them to be a goal scorer. If they're a good 200 foot player then make sure your a good 200 foot player. Don't try to be somebody else. Be who you are, and we've drafted you for those reasons. If they do that then every player here will do just fine."
Skills of prospects
"Every team in the WHL looks for skill, you do need to score goals at some point and that comes into play. We've got a great coaching staff and they'll work with the skill, they'll develop and make them a well rounded player as they move forward. We look at the skating and the scoring but the biggest thing we look for is the 'come to play'. That's the compete aspect, the puck sense away from the puck, the puck sense with the puck. Very, very important attribute for players to have and hopefully we've found that nice mix in these last couple drafts."
Important weekend
"I'm excited about today and the next 2 days. Especially with the blending of the rookies with the veterans. That's exciting for me because we're going to see some players step up and we're also going to see some players fall off a little bit because the tempo might be a little bit much and that's fine. We're not expecting a lot of things out of our young young guys, but do want them to compete. Like I said earlier, that's the biggest thing, we want everyone to compete. It's going to be fun to watch these guys the next few days."
Approach after camp
"We have a plan moving forward. We always have a ghost roster I guess you can call it. We put a number in there as we're going to go into Tri City and that number might change a little bit. There's going to be some surprises and that's what we want. We want some surprises, we want a guy we didn't have on that ghost roster to say 'ok here I am, I'm coming with you'. We have a number in mind and we'd like to stay at that number and we'll see how that comes out as we move forward."

Ryan McGill On Training Camp
On the start of camp
"We're very excited. We haven't been on the ice yet but from the fitness testing results I've seen so far it obvious the guys have put it a tremendous amount of work this summer and are a very committed group, from the veterans to the first year guys that have never really been through this before. Really looking forward to seeing the young guys and how they play tomorrow within there own groups so they can get the butterflies out of there system and make them feel comfortable. On Thursday we'll move them into teams with the veterans. I think with the veterans, in talking with them the past 2 days, it's been a long summer. I's a real tight group and I'm interested to see how we work through this training camp and into next weekend into Tri City. We're about a week behind compared to everybody else but at the same time I think for us in the long run is going to be good."
On building on last years' great 2nd half of the season
"You gotta be careful in that you don't bring that up because last year is last year. For whatever reason we did finish strong but that has nothing to do with what we're going to accomplish here moving forward. It's making sure our guys understand taking it day by day, making sure we are putting one foot forward ahead of each other and working towards the end of the year, in taking the proper steps to get better every day. We want to improve on a daily basis. Once training camp starts we won't bring up last year because you can't dwell on the past and you have to make sure we are moving forward on a day-to-day basis."
On core group that is a tight group
"It's a big thing for us because the culture that has been established here over the past 15 years is very important. You can see it from the 20-year olds this year and from the 2nd and 3rd year players here, and I think it makes for a good foundation as far as where we want to go. We just have to make sure every day we are getting better and we're living in the moment and not looking too far ahead."
On any special message to the players before camp
"No message. We've been in contact throughout the summer and they understand that it's a marathon and not a sprint. Understand every day we need to get better as a group and understand also that each and every guy is a special player in here and each and every guy can bring something very special to the table. The biggest thing for these guys, and you saw this morning on the track is that once they were finished they all stuck together and they were all with each other, it's a matter of really getting the group to understand that they are a year older and they are a year more mature and we need to set our short term goals really high."
On Propects
"I think we are very happy with our 97 draft and 98 draft. We're very excited for that. I'm not going to name any names, but at the same time we seem to very confident with the young guys that have come in, whether it's a guy who is going to make the team or go back play another year. It's one of those things where we're back on the upward trend again for our young prospects, there's a lot of skill and I think that's a good sign."
On Mike Dyck and Jay Henderson
"It would be really tough for Jay to coach this team by himself, there isn't anybody I don't think that could come in here and do that. With Jerry (Bancks) moving on to Kimberley and us not making that a full-time commitment in that position, I thought it was really important between Jeff (Chynoweth), myself and Garnet (Kazuik) that someone with experience came in and help Jay out. At the same time Jay's in charge. Jay's the guy that's going to be in charge here come December but we just felt that rather than hire somebody in that position that didn't have any experience just to come in and push pucks, we felt it was very important to have somebody with experience, that had the time, that we knew as an organization and I know personally, that we could trust to come in and really bridge the gap when I'm gone and we really feel that Mike's the guy to do that."

Mike Dyck Comments
On joining the ICE
"Well obviously I'm really excited about joining Ryan and his staff and Jeff Chynoweth and a first class organization. Kootenay is one of the premier organizations in the WHL and I'm really looking forward to the opportunity."
On the part-time coaching position
"We I think it's a real good opportunity for me. I've been really hesitant leaving Lethbridge because it's my home and I've got a young family. Yet, obviously still have that passion to coach at the Western Hockey League level. The challenges are obviously going to be that I'm not there all the time but at the same time I can rely on the experience I've had in the Western League. I think also the fact they've got such a strong coaching staff and from what I understand a very strong leadership group it's just a matter of making sure we're all on the same page."
On spending time with the team
"There's going to be a few weekends that I'm going to come in (to Cranbrook) previous to December to spend some time with the team and this weekend at training camp, but when Ryan is gone (in December) I'll be in Cranbrook the entire time."
On this years' ICE
"I had a chance to work with Reinhart and Descheneau at the U-17's and know what kind of kids they are. Not only when it comes to what they can do on the ice but the kind of guys they are off the ice. Certainly there are 2 guys I do know and I know there is a whole group there that are very excited about building on the success they had last year as a good young team and are probably ready to take that next step and I look forward to being a part of that."

Mike Dyck Joins ICE
Cranbrook, BC – Jeff Chynoweth, General Manager of the Kootenay ICE Hockey Club, today announced the Club will be adding Mike Dyck to the Coaching Staff when Ryan McGill leaves in December to be an Assistant Coach with Team Canada at the 2014 World Junior Championship in Malmo, Sweden. Mike will attend Training Camp to get to know the players and staff and will be in Cranbrook once a month leading up to Ryan McGill’s departure on December 12.
“With Ryan going to the World Juniors and this being Jay’s first year coaching in the WHL we felt another coach was needed during this time frame. We feel very fortunate to be able to add a coach with the experience that Mike has in the WHL. Like Jay he also played in the League and can relate to the players of today having coached Team Pacific (Sam Reinhart, Jaedon Descheneau) at the 2012 World Under 17 Hockey Challenge,” continued Chynoweth
“I have known Mike since he played in the WHL (1985-1989) and with his coaching experience it was a natural choice. With me being gone for a month it was very important to have someone that both Jay and the players felt comfortable with. I am confident with the group of players we have returning that it will be a seamless transition with Jay and Mike running the bench,” commented Head Coach Ryan McGill.
Mike Dyck was Head Coach of the Lethbridge Hurricanes for five years from 2005 through 2009 and compiled a 132-120-16 win-loss record, including a trip to the 2008 WHL Finals. Prior to that he was also an Assistant Coach with the Hurricanes and Vancouver Giants

Muth Retires
Kootenay ICE training camp starts on Wednesday and the club has another opening on the blueline as 20-year-old defenseman Tanner Muth has decided to retire from hockey.
The decision came after advice from the team and his family.

Training Camp Schedule
Cranbrook, BC – The Kootenay ICE Hockey Club will open their 2013 Western Hockey League Training Camp Wednesday, August 28 at 9:00 am. This year’s Training Camp will once again combine rookie-aged players (players born in 1998), with veteran players (players born in 1993 to 1997). All ice sessions will take place at Western Financial Place.
“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 60 players are expected to participate in Training Camp, including 18 veteran players from last year's team. At this time, Rinat Valiev will not be participating in Training Camp due to the Canadian foreign service workers strike. Rinat has his IIHF Transfer approved and will arrive in Cranbrook once he received his Canadian VISA . All Training Camp sessions will be open to the public.

Strike Affects ICE
The Canadian Foreign Service strike in Moscow is affecting Russian hockey players including the Kootenay ICE recent import selection Rinat Valiev.
Russian players are facing face weeks-long delays receiving the visas necessary for them to settle in Canada and play in the CHL.
http://ca.sports.yahoo.com/blogs/jrhockey-buzzing-the-net/russian-players-qmjhl-teams-affected-canadian-foreign-strike-214518132.html
Valiev played in the USHL last year and has a U.S. passport but cannot enter Canada yet.
ICE GM Jeff Chynoweth says he is cleared to play for the ICE and hoped the visa situation is finalized as soon as possible.

Reinhart To Play Exhibition Game
From http://www.nhl.com/ice/blogpost.htm?id=19426
LAKE PLACID, N.Y. -- Hours after arriving here, Canada was on the ice Tuesday afternoon for its first practice, and already announced its lineup for its first game, Wednesday against Finland.
Eric Comrie, who missed most of last season with a hip injury, will get the start in goal, with Zachary Fucale serving as the backup. Jake Paterson, who was the third goalie on the team that finished fourth in Sochi, Russia, at the 2013 World Junior Championship, will be a healthy scratch.
Also getting into the game will be Sam Reinhart, who will play right wing on a line with center Brendan Gaunce and left wing Kerby Rychel. Reinhart is the early leader to be the first pick of the 2014 NHL Draft.
Here is how the rest of the lineup shapes up for Canada:
Hunter Shinkaruk - Fredrik Gauthier - Anthony Mantha
Brendan Leipsic - Nicolas Petan - Emile Poirier
Ryan Rupert - Felix Girard - Mark Jankowski
Kerby Rychel - Brendan Gaunce - Sam Reinhart
Slater Koekkoek - Michael Matheson
Joshua Morrissey - Dillon Heatherington
Matthew Finn - Ryan Pulock
Eric Comrie
Zachary Fucale
Scratched: Jake Paterson, Connor McDavid, Mathew Dumba, Darnell Nurse, Derrick Pouliot, Damon Severson, Charles Hudon, Tom Wilson, Max Domi, Sean Monahan, Scott Laughton, Curtis Lazar, Bo Horvat
