The 2021/2022 hockey season is just around the corner.
Barring any potential COVID-19 restrictions, the U18 ‘AAA’ Kenora Thistles have set the dates for both their ID camp and their main selection camp.
Scott Parsons is headed into his second season as the head coach of the team and says the ID camp is a great chance to make an impression on the coaching staff.
“Last year we didn’t get to travel around and take a look at some of the players that are moving up from the U15 level,” says Parsons, “So it’s really good for players to come out, shake some rust off and get noticed. There’s not much in terms of expectations (at ID camp).”
He tells us the main selection camp for the club will come two weeks later.
“The majority of our team will be picked that weekend. That weekend we’re going to be getting down to the real nitty-gritty when we have to make our selections for the 20 spots that are available.”
The ID camp, which costs $50, will take place from July 31st to August 1st.
The main camp runs from August 13th through to August 15th and will cost $100 per player.
Both the ID camp and the main camp will take place at the Keewatin Memorial Arena, and are for players born in 2004, 2005 and 2006.
