Kenai River Brown Bears Tryout

The weekend of June 10th I attended the Kenai River Tryouts in Littleton, Colorado. The camp was a success; I had a beautiful goal on a rush in the first game and two fights on the second day. There was a great turnout for the camp with lots of competition and talent which made for a good experience and practice for the upcoming season. I was invited to their main camp after the All-star game on Sunday morning. Ironically my evaluator ended up being the Idaho Steelheads Assistant Coach whom I played against in the WSHL playoffs. He had good things to say about my physical play and confidence with the puck being the reason I made the cut. The Main Camp for Kenai River is on the weekend of July 20th in Inver Grove Heights Minnesota.

Chance Creger Training at Athletic Republic

Athletic Republic

Tonight I started training at Athletic Republic at Big Bear in Denver. My brother has been training there for the past six months with Kurt McCormick and has improved tremendously in his strength on and off the ice. Kurt is a great trainer who's great at pushing you past your comfort zone and motivating. We worked on the treadmill along with some plyometrics and weightlifting. I will post some videos of the workouts above. I'll be committing to Athletic Republic once a week for the rest of the summer.

Bobcats Tryout 2012

This weekend I participated in the Bismark Bobcats open tryout in Denver. I was allowed to skip the first game on Friday the 18th in order to attend my High School Graduation Ceremony. Overall the weekend was a success I had 5 assists and 3 fights in 3 games. I was lucky to have a great team that worked well together in the first two games. I made the all-star game on Sunday and was asked to attend the main camp. I had to decline the offer however, in order to save up for two tryouts in Ontario that I have been invited to. Both in the CCHL, one is in mid-June for the Pembroke Lumberkings, and the other is in July for the Cornwall Colts. I'm looking forward to heading north of the border for both these tryouts!

Now that the school year is over I am preparing my workout routines for the summer, as I try to gain some weight and stay in shape.
