The final full day of camp snuck up on the campers, finishing up a full and productive week of hockey. The 14's started the day with morning practice divided into defensive and offensive skill sessions.
And the players spent an hour in the Yoga Studio on campus where they learned the importance of training not just strength and cardio, but mobility and flexibility as well. Mobility work is often left behind in a lot of athlete's training regiments but is an integral part of an athletes strength and resiliency to injury.
After lunch they squared off in the second set of full games this week. And headed to the Husky Den for a talk on Nutrition, and most memorably learned the importance of hydration and how to monitor your intake by keeping an eye on your output.
Team Green2 won yesterday's 3 on 3 championship over Team Royal 2, and White 1 prevailed over Green 1 in the third place contest.
