60 hopefuls attending ICE camp
The Kootenay ICE Hockey Club opened its 2013 Western Hockey League training camp this morning, August 28.
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 are open to the public.
