Hockey camps are a
sommertime _ tradition | in-
Canada, ‘but, for most '
players living in the more
isolated parts

That. hasn't been the case™

so much in recent years,

though, and one. of . the
reasons for that is the
Terrace Minor Hockey
Association’ 8 summer
development camp, now in
its second year of operation.
* The Terrace assoclation
has brought in Marc Pezzin,

coach of the Kelowna Wings:

of the Western Hockey
League, for the secand year

paid more than expense

_ for ‘the cash, elther. They
both get a chance to see
young talent from the area
that’ they otherwise
‘wouldn’t get a chance to see

for another couple of years,”

“if ever.

“If we run into a kid that’s — , :
or a major junior camp," —

‘exceptional, of course we

want to latch onto. him,”

Pezzin sald. . “Coming up
here, instead. of having

other people look at- the!
’ players and bringing them :

‘down to us, we get to see
them when they're 14 or 15

years old and have a two |

year lead on anyone else.!’ -

“We're really interested

in the Pacific Northwest,”
Lawrence said. “There's

‘gome good talent up here
and we'd like to get a look at -

- the players fairly early: on. "

*“It’sa twofold’ thing. One,
this is-a school, it’s to help
all the kids here get some
better skills, and the second
thing is that if we happen to

we.

Pezzin and Larence have -

so far dealt mostly with the
 bintam - and midget aged °
‘players the’ camp, °

although they do get insome .

‘sessions with the younger

players as well. The older.

players are the ones - of
greatest interest to the two
coaches, and they're. also
the players. who are most
interested in moving up to
junior A, whether in tier Ii
or major junior.

The, atmosphere at a.
jinior A training camp is’

radically different from a
midget rep camp, though,
according ‘to . both.. The
biggest difference?
“Competition,” ' SAYS
Pezzin. “A player finds that
everybody is at the level he
was at home, or better.
They find that the players

arestronger, they skate just...
as well and all of a sudden

the’ intimidation factor
‘becomes involved. . That's
the big difference. Instead
of being a hero from a small
centre they're thrown into a
lump group of‘ people that
all «have. that talent, or
better.” Ls
' “You also get a lot of
intensity at a junior A camp

Lawrence said. ‘As well as
thé competition factor; you

have everybody out there

fighting for a job and you

may. have as many 49.15 or -

18 young men in camp, and
“it geta very intense.” .
“Especially when ‘there’s

only five.or six spots on a”

team,” Pezzin added. .
~. Coaching is more geared
“toward development ; of
team skills at the junior A or
major junior “levels, as
“opposed ‘to the ‘individual
“) skills: learned in rep hockey,
othe ‘coaches said,’ ‘Players - -
