Chance Creger and Kenny McCudden Elite AAA Camp

 This last week I had the pleasure of coaching in Kenny McCudden's Elite AAA Camp. The camp is held every year in Chicago, however this year it was a joint camp in Boulder. The kids from Chicago flew down to Colorado for the week and were able to billet with Bison Families. It was a great experience and I enjoyed it thoroughly. From watching all the coaches present at the camp I gained a great deal of knowledge about the game and coaching in general. The talent level of the Coaching Staff made it an amazing camp to attend as both players and myself. My youngest brother, Cole was also able to attend the camp. There is not many times that you can place someone into a week-long camp and see as much improvement as what I saw in Cole this week. I have very high hopes in Cole  as he will be playing U13 AAA for the Rocky Mountain Roughriders this season. As for myself, my knee is recovering very well. I am almost 5 months post-op now and my strength is almost back to 100%. There is the occasional morning where I wake up with a pretty stiff leg but, that is nothing a few minutes dedicated to stretching won't fix. I will be leaving for Minot 10 days before camp in order to train and get settled in. I will also be skating at the Jr. Bison Main Camp this weekend to try to get up to speed.
