News — 31 August 2010
Hello mudda, hello fadda…Both veterans and prospects could be found shaking out the cobwebs at Dryden Memorial Arena late last week as the Dryden Ice Dogs took to the ice for open camp.
Coach Clint Mylamok says he typically reserves judgment on players’ performance in the camp setting. He says it takes a game situation to reveal a player’s true colours.
“Last year there were guys at camp we thought were ‘okay’, then once the puck dropped they were some of our better forwards,” said Mylamok. “Once you’re in a competitive situation against an opposing team in our league, then you can start to figure out what makes guys tick and what you have on your hands.”
With only three forwards, three defensemen and a goaltender returning, Mylamok says there are some big holes to fill — primarily in the goal-scoring department.
“The cupboard is pretty much bare,” he said. “We have to work a little harder to fill those voids.”
Among the local faces at camp were Zane Zerbinati, Brock Clink, goaltender Kim Wildhaber, Curtis Barker and Bryce Maggrah.
“There a couple kids we’re trying to get out here,” he said. “It’s their choice. They’re good players and I’d like for them to stay home and play here.”
Mylamok will have a chance to test out some of the new talent tonight (Wednesday Sept. 1). as the Fort Frances Lakers come to town for an exhibition match-up. Also this week, the Dogs host the Sioux Lookout Flyers on Saturday Sept. 4, 2010. Both games will be held at the Dryden Memorial Arena.
Game time is 7:30 p.m.
