CHICAGO - The EHK Hockey Experience made its debut in beautiful Flintshire, Wales last month - and by all accounts, it was a HUGE success.  The EHK Staff of Ted Sator (Alfa Sport Academy), Jamie Kompon (St. Louis Blues), and Mike Pilon (EHK Sports) made there way to Wales to work with the Flintshire Freeze Amateur Hockey Club, under the direction of Hockey Director and DIII Pro Team coach Gary Shaw.

Forty-two players from across the UK had the benefit of spending a week with this incredible staff which was supported by local coaches Gary Shaw, Mike Martin, Phil Kennedy, and Mike Lavery.  Without there efforts, the camp would not have been as successful as it was...  In the end - many compliments and more importantly - a distinct improvement was visible in each and every player after getting more ice time in one week than they would in three months.

 

The five day camp allowed players to participate in a unique curriculum which included team training, off-ice conditioning, small area games, and a variety of individual and group competition style environments.

 

The staff also performed an adult clinic for twenty-eight players one evening during the week, with a tremendous response from the players involved.

A big thank you to staff members Ted Sator and Jamie Kompon for their efforts - along with the unmatched hospitality displayed by the Shaw family and friends.  We look forward to seeing everyone next year as the dates have already been confirmed and will be released in the next month.  Look for EHK Sports Hockey to return to the UK in October to Chelmsford!

 

The whole gang saying goodbye!  See you next year!
