Vail Northern Edge Camp and June Training

June was a great month for both my career as a player and as a coach. I continued to train with Coach Frenchy every day during the week. My knee is healing fast and my stamina and strength are increasing every day. The workouts are always a good mix of high cardio strength workouts that push not only my body, but my mind as well. I have been holding 205 for about three weeks. During this month I am going to focus on training on ice and preparing for training camp in August.

I was also invited to coach at the Northern Edge Camp in Vail. It was a week long camp with around 30 kids ranging from first year squirts through second year peewees. Throughout the camp I learned more useful drills to teach during private lessons as well as how to reach younger kids more effectively. During the camp we watched the kids and then drafted two teams for a game on Friday. I was the Head Coach for the Reebok Rebels as seen in the picture above. We had a great game and ended up losing 6-5 in 3OT.

After a great month I am looking forward to July, after a long summer I am looking forward to next season.
