SEATTLE - Back from the World Cup, Sigard Petrenko put his bronze medal in a frame on his wall and immediately went on the Seattle Bears’ ice for training camp. A training camp fresh off of a tough competition such as the World Cup might seem daunting to most but Sigard seemed to be eager to get to practice. In fact, he was so eager that he had arrived an hour earlier than the rest of the team.

 

“I had misread the start time as 8:00 instead of 9:00. Whoops.” Sigard explained in a press conference.

 

Sigard Petrenko was happy to be back with his club team. After reaching the playoffs last season and making it past the Wild Card round, this Bears team is hungry for more. With young core pieces returning for another season, the Bears team is looking to go from dark horses to champions.

 

“We were all determined to get better during training camp. The World Cup showed me that I have a lot to improve on if I plan on being a valuable asset to the team. I need to learn how to stand on my own. It’s no secret that Lose and Taro carried my offensive production. But now that I’m slowly becoming a veteran member of this team, I need to be able to carry my fair share of the work. I know that I may not have as good of a season as I did last season but I will try my hardest to help this team succeed, no matter what role I am given.”
