HONG KONG—A Pre-season Mini Camp for Junior Tigers sponsored by Air Canada and Sidewinder Capital took place over the 3 day holiday weekend Sept 16-18. Brad Smyth, former NHL player, owner and head instructor for NHL Alumni Camps & Clinics flew in from Canada to lead the training camp.
With 1 session/day both age groups, 6-12 and 13-18 had 4.5 hours in total on the rink. All youngsters were given intensive improvement session training in skating skills, puck control and shooting practice in competitive situations. The step up in playing standard between the Easter Camp in April to this pre-season camp was noticeable. Each group was fully subscribed with 35 in the younger group and 30 older participants.
