This past weekend we had our Orientation Camp…the camp was a
lot of fun.
During the weekend there were several activities we did as a
team to help bring us closer together and start to bond. These activities consisted of a scavenger hunt
in downtown Waterloo, a tour of the John Deere Foundry, the
Fan Fest at Young Arena, and a game and practice every day. All these activities were so much fun and a
great way to kick off the year.
My favorite part of camp was the Fan Fest at Young
Arena. It included about four to five
hours of non-stop entertainment for our fans, including a tour of our locker
room, a full USHL game where the players all wore the jerseys we will be
wearing in Russia, a shootout picked by two fans who won chuck-a-puck, and
lastly, about an hour of skating where the fans came out and could skate with
Black Hawks.
While this was a lot of fun and an early start to the season
for some of our fans, it was also was a fundraiser for our trip to Russia. For the duration of the camp all players
stayed in the Ramada in downtown Waterloo.
Every player had one roommate; most did not know theirs, myself included
at first. But throughout the camp, we
became close due to spending so much time together and all of the activities we
all participated in. Overall the camp
was a great experience and a lot of fun.
