THE RINK HAS ICE

It’s that time of year again when we find out who worked this summer and who worked out. Veterans have reported for Bonnyville Pontiac training camp and today they will be put through the gauntlet of fitness tests. All veterans are given a workout program to follow through the summer and this is the day that will show who followed it and who didn’t.

Fitness testing isn’t everything, even Wayne Gretzky was notoriously bad at it, but when you think back to round 2 game 3 against Fort McMurray it is the work in the summer and all the cardio training during the year which could be the difference in double overtime.

All players report tonight and will be on the ice tomorrow morning for the start of main camp. All sessions are open to the public, with ice times running Friday and Saturday from 8:00AM to 7:30PM as well as Sunday from 9:00AM to 12:30PM at the RJ Lalonde Arena.
