Charity NHL game and camp finito!!!

Hi everybody Callum Bowley and Tom Norton here, this will be our final post for the camp blog.

On Wednesday night a friend of Corey's managed to get a hold of some tickets in Collingwood which featured NHL stars such as, Kris Draper (Detroit Red Wings), Chris Neil (Ottawa Senators), Steve Ott (Dallas Stars), Trevor Daley (Dallas Stars), Mike Komisarek (Toronto Maple Leafs), Mike Weber (Buffalo Sabres), Kevin Klein (Nashvile Predators), Retired NHL stars such as Aaron Downey and Brad May, They played against a select team from around the area Collingwood of past and present players, the score ended up 5-4 to the House 9 team which was the NHL players but the collingwood team won the penalty shoot out with some brilliant goal tending from the Collingwood goalie. It was quite an adventure getting to the arena, we had a native Canadian friend (Ben Clarke) who we thought would know the roads and the directions to the arena, but boy was we wrong we ended up driving past our turning and going 54 Km in the wrong direction, we stopped and asked an old lady for direction which we let our native Canadian handle again which took 15 minutes and all he got out of her was "You wont get there going in this direction" but in the end we found someone who knew the way and we got there safely for the start of the game.

This morning was our final session on the ice and it was a up tempo session with flow drills and lots off battling games, we had a little bag skate at the end having to push the nets from one end of the rink to the other, then we played Stick and Puck Boy and for the 4th time running Will "sharpshooter" Weldon to the prize hahaha. Then after the session we did our last off ice session.

We would just like to say thank you to teen ranch for allowing us to come and use the great facility's and stay at the ranch, would also like to thank Neil Black for the flight tickets and Corey for giving us the opportunity again and again to our families who this couldn't of been done without with. Thank You

Bi Bi xxx Nortz and Callum
