Jordan Banman and Spencer Lambert represented Manitoba as our up-and-coming athletes by attending the Hockey Canada Regional Skills Camp in Calgary, AB. From October 14-16, the athletes worked on on-ice and off-ice skills to assist them in furthering their development in sledge hockey. Banman and Lambert are two of Manitoba's top youth athletes, with Lambert receiving an invite from Hockey Canada previously for a development team camp and competition against their American counterparts.

​These were the first series of regional camps to be hosted by Hockey Canada, with two others occurring in Toronto and Montreal.

The first annual SMD Summer Sledge Hockey Camp came to a end on August 26th with a new member ready to play in the fall. The summer camp focused on physical literacy and sledge hockey, while partnering with other sports, to provide the sledge hockey athletes with a week-long intensive camp. In total, 29 participants participated in the inaugural camp. 

Of course, you didn't need to be an experienced player to participate. Omar Al Ziab, 15, tried the sport of sledge hockey for the first time at the camp. Omar proved to be a natural athlete, reducing his lap time from 39 seconds to 22 seconds after a week of training. Omar will be joining our league for the 2016-17 season at the MTS Iceplex.
