SUCCESS: Girls’ Boarding Camps in SD

Posted: Thursday, July 21st Filed in: 2011 Camps General

Well, it’s the time we’ve all been waiting for, our boarding camps in Brookings, South Dakota! Legend Hockey is proud to say we’ve brought in the sweetest staff yet.

Last week, we hosted our Girls Elite, U10, and U12 boarding camps. The girls really enjoyed their time here at Larson Ice Center where they were pushed out of their comfort zones. Their week consisted of intense ice time, dryland, stick handling, and classroom. Legend staff did an outstanding job running the ice times, which included small games, skating fundamentals, and core drills. University of Wisconsin goalie, Becca Ruegsegger, spoke to the girls via Skype for classroom one day. Becca spoke with the girls about how she uses her ability and the sport of hockey to glorify God and also the hard work and sacrifice required for such admirable accomplishments she has attained. Private lessons were held twice last week with players ranging from first time skaters to seasonal skaters. Legend is proud to have Christina Lee, Jennifer Kranz, Emily Kranz, and Justin Kirchhevel on our team.  On one end of the ice, Noelle and Justin worked with U18 boys, while Christina, Jennifer, and Emily ran private lessons on the opposite end. The profound results proved it a success.

Legend is pleased with the results of week one of boarding camps, and is looking forward to another three weeks of hockey in Brookings!
