I will admit when it comes to training camp there is always a lot of dread and fear with it, you know there is going to be a lot of bag skating, a lot of conditioning and a lot of moving around the line up. On the other side of things there is always they joy of meeting the new rookies coming in, getting back with the team and spending some time and start creating the early memories. I think going through this years training camp the most exciting part and now amusing was watching the young guns of McCloud and Knurtsson fight their way on to the roster this season. Starting from day one you could see their anxiety being a key factor but then slowly settle in as they started to get comfortable. It was always a joy taking those two to dinner and sticking them with the bill, or at least the fear of it, one of the vets always took care of it before we snuck out on them. The final sigh of relief when the coach pulled them in and said they should look for a place in the area was what makes training camp so exciting.
