A Busy Day at the Glacier Ice Arena

Greetings!


Dylan DemaioOur summer programs are well under way and what way to start! This newsletter will just give you a taste of the exciting programs taking place at the Glacier this summer.

Our first hockey camp is the Tim Turk Shooting Camp. There are 45 players taking part in this highly motivating and skill driven camp. I spoke to Dylan Demaio this morning and this is what he had to say about his experience so far: I love the Pro Shooter Camp with coach Turk. He has great drills and really pushes you to get it right!

Tim Turk
Tim Turk Shooting Camp

Tim always says "Shoot Hard & Shoot Often" That's what this camp is all about!

 He goes on to say; "This is the third year I've been at Glacier and I know the players who do my camp pay attention and listen, because whether they are return students from previous camps or just progressing from Monday through Friday, they are all shooting hard and shooting often"

 


Public Skate today

We had a very busy public skating session this morning with nearly 100 skaters attending from the Baffolo Grove Park District. They all had a great time and will be back with us on Thursday. Just a reminder that public skate is Tuesday & Thursday from 11:30 until 1:00 and Saturday 10:30 until 12:00 during the summer.

Buddies Camp
Buddies Camp

Our Buddies camps got under way this morning with amazing success. There is a real air of excitement around the campers and the staff. Karen, Elona, Taylor and Michelle are really motivated and are assisting with on and off ice activities. Karen says; "Its still not too late to sign up."

Two of the campers, Brook and Claudia (pictured above) say; "The camp is awesome because you get to learn new things on the ice." 

Rat Hockey

Rat Hockey

Rat Hockey was a real work out today, the numbers were good and the level was great. We have Rat Hockey sessions for the next couple of weeks from 12:00 until 1:00 and starting this Friday we have a special two hour session from 5:00 - 7:00pm. Its only $8 during the week and $10 on Friday evenings, so come down and skate your socks off!

Feeding Time
Feeding Time

With all these great activities going on there has to be time to stop for refreshments. Our newly appointed concession stand, "The Puck Stops Here" was non stop today throughout the lunchtime period. Everyone seemed pleased with the selection of pizza, hot dogs, chicken nuggets, etc which re-energized all the skaters for a hard afternoon.

Little Dogs 1
