The camp ran from July 14-19 at the Viking Carena Complex and is defined as an all-skills camp stressing “age-appropriate fundamental training.” On-ice skills included skating, puck handling, passing, shooting, and team play. Off the ice, there were other activities like dryland training, yoga,
mindset and team building. The camp helped every hockey student starting from any skill level to increase his or her knowledge base and confidence while enjoying themselves on the ice. It has also been described as an “action packed week of drills, games and unforgettable memories.” Players from U7 to U18 were accepted to this camp led by professional coaches who provided personalized instruction in a fun and positive environment. Duane, Darryl, and Chris Sutter were on hand to help the coaches on the ice. Then off the ice, a bar-
beque was held for the Viking Hockey Camp family courtesy of the Viking Elks Club. There, the hockey legends shared stories and showed the awe struck young players their NHL rings. During the camp, the Viking Golf and Country Club became the venue for team building games. And all week there were many volunteers and Carena staff helping out behind the scenes. Organizers are already planning for next year’s camp in the hopes it can continue to grow in popularity. See more photos on Page 2
