Kootenay Ice News Release
Cranbrook, BC - The Kootenay ICE Hockey Club will open their 2011 Western Hockey League Training Camp Wednesday, August 31 at 9:15 am. This year's Training Camp will once again combine rookie-aged players (players born in 1996), with veteran players (players born in 1991 to 1995). All ice sessions will take place at the Cranbrook Rec Plex.
"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 61 are expected to participate in Training Camp, including 16 returning players from last year's Championship team. All Training Camp sessions will be open to the public.
