With keeping the tradition of the Soo Jr Greyhounds program, Training Camp, which has always been the week before Labour Day Long weekend in
August, marks the return of the cool air and sweet smell of the rink. 17 of
the top 2007 born players from Sault Ste Marie and area were officially assembled
this week for the first time as the Soo Jr Greyhound Pee Wee Minor AAA team.
Training Camp kicked off on Monday with off ice testing. The coaches were impressed with the improvement in results compared to their baseline testing back in May. This showed the hard work and dedication the players made over the summer in their training.
The boys will be on the ice 4 days this week to polish up on their individual skills and bring their edge work to the next level. The coaching staff has equipped a plan and is ready to challenge the team with new skills and new aspects of the game. This will prepare the team for the challenge a head of being one of the top AAA teams in Ontario.
Now it is time to sit back, relax and enjoy the last long weekend of the summer because September is right around the corner and the 2007 Soo Jr Greyhounds AAA team will be running on all cylinders next week!
