Promising training camp excites United fans

[diacope 1,696]

The atmosphere in the London United locker room was totally different this season with all the newly added players and at training camp the increased attendance pretty much gave the coaches a workout too

 

The Head Coach sounds the whistle and the first drill is shooting, players split up and start taking shots, Julien Nousiainen skates between the dots and starts firing them at Friedriksen, high wrist shot MISS, low slap shot SAVE, another low slapper SCORES, high wrist shot SCORES, high slap shot MISS - 2/5

 

a few other

highlights are..

Chad Magnum went 5/5, low slap, low slap, slow slap, low wrist, mid wrist

Alec Volchenkov 4/5, high wrist, mid wrist miss, high wrist, low wrist, high slap

Ryan Schwarz

4/5, mid wrist, high slap save, mid slap, low slap, mid wrist

 

Another drill that certain players exceled in was skating, including goaltender Kevin Malone, in a 5 pylon dodging sprint he was able to get from both ends of the ice in 0.17 seconds, hitting 0 pylons and coming close to some of the fastest members

 

a few other highlights are..

Erik Killinger 0.11

Hugh Jass 0.13

The Terrible Trivium 0.14, hit 1 pylon +0.2

 

The last drill we saw some exciting results was hitting/skating, players skate around the rink while trying to get past teammates and obstacles, not many teams so this drill, specially so close to the season but it's always a treat to watch! James Rose gets ready, sets and goes, he flys past linemate Kasper Kankkunen without any issue, runs into Magnum and get pinned to the boards, he breaks loose and pushes Jay Jones out of the way, using him to boost around the first obstacle, Proto stands up but the momentum was too much, Rose speeds up even more and finishes with 0.25 on the clock, only 1 stop 

 

a few other highlights are..

Magnum 0.24 seconds, 2 stops +0.4

Volchenkov 0.27, 1 stops +0.4

Keith Krestanovich 0.27, 0 stops
