Delta's First Annual Dryland Hockey Camp

Delta's first annual Dryland Hockey Camp was held June 11-14th at the Deltana Fair Grounds. The camp, run from 5:30 to 9:30 pm each evening for ages 9-18, was to supply Delta's hockey players with skills and information that would help them to condition and train through the off-season and be a better player come ice time. The campers rotated through 4 skills training stations: Puck Shooting with Howard Beito and Bruce Hunchens, "1 on 1" and Scoring Skills with Mike Long and Chris Zachgo, Puck Handling Skills with Mike Tvenge and Dr.Paul Anderson and Fitness and Nutrition with Eli Grossmann, Lowen Ewing and Annie Grossmann. Each day ended with a discussion about the importance of character, education, commitment and conditioning by Al Edgren and the other staff. Each participant went home with tools to improve their skills as well as a notebook full of excellent training information to help them elevate their level of play.
