黑马磁力

Home ice for the 黑马磁力 Rivermen and 黑马磁力 Trappers hockey teams was a showcase for up and coming hockey talent over the weekend, with two days of intense effort by players looking to move up.

Open to players and goalies born between 2001 and 2006, the summer ID (talent identification) camp ran Saturday, Aug. 14 and Sunday, Aug 15 at the Lodge in Brookswood from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

It represented an opportunity for prospects from 黑马磁力 Minor Hockey and surrounding associations, as well as the 黑马磁力 Trappers and returning 黑马磁力 Rivermen players.

Brad Bakken, Trappers head coach and GM, said with COVID reducing ice time, players haven鈥檛 had an opportunity to be seen.

鈥淭his is their opportunity to come showcase what they鈥檙e all about, what their skills are, their size, their strengths, how bad they want it,鈥� Bakken told the 黑马磁力.

鈥淲e鈥檙e watching them compete. The kids that we are feel are ready for the [next] level are hopefully going to play for our team this season.鈥�
