Every year our intrepid captain hosts a conditioning camp prior to the regular season training camp. This 2008 year is no different as Shane played host to a veritable cornacopia of players from all aspects of the game.

From a local business man and former minor leaguer to Ollie Jokinen our newest transplant, there was plenty to see and get excited about on day 1. Watching a leaner, faster Peter Mueller, getting a better gander at Ahnelov, Boedker, McLean and Brodeur or sayin howdy to the non skaters like Jovo and Enver, it was a great way to spend a couple of hours.

Surprise guests included our former agitating phenom Tyson Nash and a former stalwart from our blueline Nick Boynton.

There were probably close to 25 skaters out there and that number will increase as the rest of the guys start to arrive back in town. Anyway nothing really new to report on just encourage you to squeeze out an hour to go take a peek if you get a chance for a long lunch break or if you work anywhere near the Alltel Ice Den in Scottdale. You’ll really enjoy it and it sure is cool inside. The camp runs through September 12th. 10:45 to 1 pm
