Taking-Off

The first week of training camp has been a very productive one. Our team testing results have proved that everyone was training hard throughout the off-season, as this year's edition of the Concordia Stingers is the strongest and fastest of any of the past five years. The rookies have shown that they're capable of stepping up to the next level, and it looks like many of them will be able to dress and contribute immediately.

Our first big test comes this Saturday, as we're of to Saskatoon to play an exhibition game against the Huskies. It's going to be a very competitive game, as I know that we're playing to win, and I'm sure they'll be doing the same. Our game plan will be simple though, and our focus on execution. All of the guys are excited to get this opportunity to travel, and it should be a good team-building experience. 

We return on Sunday, and I'll be sure to update the blog with all of the details from the trip.
