Thunderbirds Hockey School returns in August

Published 10:33 am Wednesday, January 30, 2013

The Seattle Thunderbirds Hockey School spans two weeks in August at the ShoWare Center.

Dates this year will be Aug. 5–10 and Aug. 12 – 17.

The school consists four youth groups for ages 6-14, a junior prep group for ages 15-18 and an adult group for players 18-years-old and older.

The camp will be difficult and challenging and will focus on conditioning and pace.

T-Bird players will be participating in on- and off-ice sessions of the junior prep group.

Players interested in the junior prep group will be required to call T-Birds Hockey Operations Assistant Jeff Caso at 253-239-7825 to register.

The youth and junior prep groups will receive an hour and a half of on ice instruction followed by a one hour off-ice session.

On the Saturday of the camp there will be a scrimmage game for each group.

The adult group will feature a two hour on-ice session preceded by an off-ice video instruction session.

Youth group registrants will receive a hockey school jersey while adult and junior prep registrants will receive a hockey school t-shirt.

T-Birds Assistant Coach Darren Rumble will be the lead instructor.

T-Birds players taking part as instructors will be announced in mid-July.
