CAMP DAY 1

We’ll get you results from the Fitness testing hopefully later on this afternoon.

The big news out of registration night yesterday was the announcement Coach and General Manager Chad Mercier has signed a 5 year contract extension keeping him in Bonnyville through the 2013/14 season.

Finacial terms of the deal were not disclosed (always wanted to say that).

Also announced was the captain for the 2008/09 season. 20 year old Saskatchewan native Craig Cuthbert will wear the ‘C’ this year. “Cutter” had 12 goals 26 assists for 38 points in 55 games last year, his first with the Pontiacs. Craig also has 3 years of WHL experience on his resume and could just be the nicest darn hockey player off the ice you’ll ever meet.

Pontiac veterans Jeremy Gerhardt and Steven Seigo were named assistant captains.

As for the action on the ice 1993 born players are just getting underway in a scrimmage with older players getting their first chance to show their stuff at 9:30 this morning. On ice camp continues all day today and tomorrow.
