Oh but that’s not all.

It would have been nice if some of these sessions were after school so students could attend and people getting off work too

4 of 6 sessions are after school stillsmokin

What are you talking about Rambleon ?
There are 6 sessions in total-2 each day,
1 at 9am and 1 at 11:30am (approx.)
If the Schools had not been given Free Tickets for the kids
I don’t know how many would of went on Friday.

PS-I am not counting the Goal Tenders Sessions.

After school is over for the weekend on Friday there are still 4 more sessions

I thought this was a Training Camp, not a sideshow!! The kids need to be in school!!

Just because you “don’t get it” Miss g doesn’t mean the rest of us don’t.

Some of these kids have met theie heros today.. The team they love.. They are only here through the weekend.. A professional hockey team doesn’t just have a 2-3 day training camp..

Just because it’s raining outside doesn’t mean you have to rain on these kids parade.

The teachers could have had their Pro-D day today, instead of the very first day of school, and the kids could have gone during the day today.
