More than 60 children participated in the Hockey Skills Camp from Dec. 22- 24 at the Seaforth arena, part of the Huron East Recreation Department's Kids' Christmas Programs. "We thought there would be probably around 40 kids at the most. But, the more kids the better," said Luke Vick, of Seaforth, who led the program along with Leah Craig,. of Egmondville. "There were more kids that what was expected but they're really having a good time," said Craig, a member of, the Bluewater Junior Hawks. Craig has also played for Team Ontario (which were national champions last year), the London Junior Stangs and for Seaforth minor hockey. The program for children, ages 6-13, included power skating, stick skills and puck control, shooting, off -ice activities and a hockey game to conclude the camp. "A lot of the kids have played in minor hockey," she said. "They're really into the camp and taking it very seriously." Craig said she has helped with other hockey camps through the summer but has never led a camp before. "It's challenging to work with kids that are not much younger than you, but they're listening to us and staying focussed," she said. She added that she and Vick met several times before the camp to prepare a schedule and plan daily drills. "Parents didn'tpay $60 for their kids to fool around so we had lots planned," said Vick. "We were a little slow starting off. It's difficult to get the kids motivated in the morning but they're having fun now." He said he participated in and assisted with the Dave McLlwain Hockey School in previous years but leading a camp was also a new experience for Vick. "It has been challenging to throw together but it's easy to pick up on drills and remember the ones you like the most from over the years in hockey," said Vick. "A lot of the drills we're teaching are from the Dave McLlwain Hockey School." Vick has also played with the St. Marys Jr. B Lincolns, the St. Marys Jr. B Mid West AAA team and in Seaforth minor hockey. Craig said they were thankful to have over 10 assistants with the hockey camp. They include Mallory Johnston, of Chatham and a member of the Bluewater Junior Hawks, Cal O'Reilly, of Seaforth and the Windsor Spitfires (OHL) and Derek Nesbitt, of Egmondville and Ferris State University. Teaching goalie skills was Matt Dalton, of Seaforth and goalie with the St. Marys Jr. B Lincolns. "All of these guys are working great together and as a team.The children have been really been enjoying it and the parents have been most impressed. I couldn't be happier with the way the program has been running," said organizer Kathy Huether, a member of the Seaforth arena staff. Huether added that she hopes to run the camp again next year. "Our goal is to keep the kids in shape over the Christmas holiday and teach them things they may have never learned before," said Vick. "I hope we gave them a worthwhile experience to remember."
