Nationals Camp Resumes Saturday
April 25, 2013 - Major League Lacrosse (MLL)
Hamilton Nationals News Release
The Hamilton Nationals will continue their 2013 Major League Lacrosse Training Camp Saturday at Ron Joyce Stadium at McMaster University. Hamilton hits the field Saturday from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. and Sunday from 9:00 to noon. Both Training Camp days are free and open to the public.
Last weekend was the first opportunity for the team to practice on their home field. Head Coach Dave Huntley and nearly 20 players braved the snow and cold to get ready for the 2013 MLL season. But the weather was hardly a deterrent for pro lacrosse players.
"You are out there playing and once you get running you get warm," said MLL veteran Martin Cahill, who said he enjoys this time of year. "You know a few guys just from playing in the league. Once you get out there, you get to meet some new guys, talk to them and see how they have been doing."
For Huntley, it was a chance to review some of the talent he has heading into the season opener in Boston in two weeks.
"We are looking for guys who are able to help us execute our game plan for Game 1," said Huntley. "Secondly, I got to know the guys. It was the first time I have been on the field with these guys. You can only learn so much by watching film.
"I was impressed with their willingness to try different things, very flexible and attentive," he added. "We had a lot of big, fit guys. The skill level was better than I expected."
The Nationals kick off their fifth season on Saturday, May 4th with a 7:00 p.m. contest against the Boston Cannons. The home opener is set for Saturday, May 11th against the New York Lizards at 7:30 p.m.
To take part in this season's action, the Hamilton Nationals are offering full and half-season ticket plans. For more information, please call the Nationals sales team at (905) 525-NATS.
