Barracudas Announce Free Agent Evaluation Camps

May 23, 2007 - SPHL (SPHL)
Jacksonville Barracudas News Release


Hockey players will once again have the chance to prove their worth as professional hockey players, as the Jacksonville Barracudas Hockey Club have announced the dates for two free agent Evaluation Camps to be held this summer.

The first two camps will also be held in MA. The first will be in Hingham, MA at the Pilgram Skating Arena on July 16-17. The second camp will be in West Springfield, MA at the Olympia Ice Center on July 18-19. Each camp will have two, two-hour long ice times per day. The entry fee is $225.00, and the player must pay in full by July 1st, 2007 in order to be registered.

Interested players can register for the camp of their choice through the Barracudas website at www.jaxcudas.com. They will be asked to fill out the online registration form, and will be able to pay the entry fee online.

The Barracudas were very successful last season in their first-ever free agent evaluation camp, hosting players from around the world, and being introduced to Tyrone Garner, who would eventually make the squad and become one of the team's leaders through their run to the SPHL Finals.

"It is a great opportunity for younger players to put their skills on display," said Barracudas General Manager Gilles Richard. "It's also a great opportunity for older players who have the skill and desire, but for whatever reason life's circumstances did not allow them to turn pro. There are a lot of talented hockey players out there who never got a chance. Tyrone is a great example of a guy who was given a second chance after suffering a career-threatening injury, and made the most of it. "

Barracudas' Head Coach Rick Allain will be in attendance along with Richard, for all sessions, and each player will receive a comprehensive performance review at the end of camp. Successful campers will receive an invitation to the Barracudas' official training camp in Jacksonville, FL prior to the 2007-08 season.

Players interested in traveling to the camps will have discounted accommodations available at a nearby hotel. Information on hotels can be found at www.jaxcudas.com. Players who would like more information are asked to call the Barracudas' office at 904-367-1423 or email info@go-cudas.com.
