Please pick ONE prompt to write about. Do not mix and match prompts. Identify the prompt you are using in your submission - Copying and pasting the prompt will deduct from your word count so if you do this make sure YOUR submission is 150+ words excluding the prompt.

OPTION 1 - :scout:

Written Task: As part of the visit to your team's home city, your camp kids play a few friendlies with the local teams of their same age range. How do they do? What lessons do they learn from the matchups, and how will they take these lessons home to their domestic hockey programs?

Graphic option: Design a logo or jersey for the youth program of the country of your choice, which, again, must NOT currently have an IIHF team. Incorporate at least three colors, with e.g. white trimming counting as a color.

OPTION 2 - Goalie Goals

Written Task: Tell me what your player wants their team's goalie to do to make their specific role easier. If your player is a goalie, tell me what you do to make your forwards' lives a little easier!

Graphic option: Show me your player being confused by gear of the opposite role. Meaning: if your player is a forward or defensemen, show me them struggling with goalie gear. If your player is a goalie, show me their struggles to understand how you can play hockey without pads and with a stick that small.

The kids that we taught last week do fantastic with other kids in their range. I think it is all about discipline as well as just really getting the skills needed to be a great hockey player. As I mentioned last week, this is an area in which hockey is not really popular, so I think it is about just really getting the skills to be successful. It all starts with the fundamentals, so really learning those and having the kids and also some adults to help teach is the goal this time around. It's so fun seeing the kids share their experiences and what they learned from the previous training, but now it is bigger. They get to meet kids that they are not used to, so it's all about making friends in the sport of hockey that we all love. Fundamentals, fun, and a lot of learning. That is what the camp is about. We should definitely do this again.

Prompt 1:

The kids in the Malamute camp play well against other kids their age. Just like the Malamutes organization, Malamutes camp teaches kids a wide range of skills, unique to their role and abilities. They wanna light it up and have the silk hands that Svatos Tanner has? Well, we'll teach em to score all right. They suck at basically everything? Seppanen's got a shot blocking seminar ready for them to watch. We even bring back legend Sydney Shaw to give some leadership classes. As such, the key thing they take away from the matchups is how to play as a team - and how to play effectively to their role. It's important, especially for the budding young superstar kids, to know that they can't be everything on the ice and they need to rely on their teammates to do what they do best. So of course, the kids made some mistakes out there and didn't play a perfect game - but the game wasn't about winning (even though they did that too), it was about learning how to value their teammates on the ice - how to anticipate where they'll be, and how to know what to do, and what not to do, to be the most effective team they can be.

During the friendly matches between the camp kids and the local hockey teams in my team's home city, the outcomes can vary. Some matches might be challenging, while others could be more evenly matched. Regardless of the results, these experiences provide valuable lessons for the young players, fostering both their individual skills and team dynamics.

Skill Improvement: Through these friendly matches, the camp kids have the opportunity to test and improve their skills in a real game setting. They learn about different playing styles, strategies, and techniques employed by the local teams. This exposure helps them identify areas of improvement in their own game.

Teamwork and Communication: Hockey is a team sport that relies heavily on effective communication and teamwork. By playing against local teams, the camp kids learn how to coordinate with their teammates, communicate on the ice, and work together to achieve common goals. These lessons in teamwork are invaluable and can be applied to any team sport, including hockey.
