We learned that most teams that go to the Brick start their process years ahead of time in evaluating and training their players. We have made some changes to our AAA tournament teams in regards to the makeup, player selection process and more so that we are better prepared for the Brick tournament each year.
We are going to start the process for all those interested in the Brick tournament to attend an August camp that will involve training as well as be another venue for us to evaluate the players. In 2013, out of the Brick T&E Camp, we will extend an invite to some players to play on our 2014 Brick team (2004 birth years). The rest of the team will be selected out of the tryout process that takes place in December ’13/January ’14.
This camp also allows our staff to work with the players and see how they have progressed from one year to the next. Players interested are NOT required to be at this camp if they are interested in our Brick team.
A common question we field is, “what are you looking for in a player or what does my son need to improve on to make the team?”. We are often asked after our tryouts for a detailed evaluation as well and our tryout format does not allow for that. This camp is aimed at answering that question and giving detailed feedback on a players skill set/performance.
This camp will serve several purposes:
1) Three great days of training and teaching from the Bruins staff. Most camps will have a wide variety of talent yet we will screen all applicants to our camp and ensure the talent level is high.
2) Each player will get a detailed evaluation from our staff that will include strengths and weaknesses and areas of the players game that need work. This will give those interested in the Brick team for the coming tournament (2004′s) four months to address those areas before tryouts take place in December/January and 16 months for the 2005′s in preparation for the 2015 tournament
3) This also allows player from out of area who needs to travel to tryouts to get more bang for thier travel buck and get multiple days of training and evaluations in.
4) Those interested in doubling up that week can also participate in our Power Skating Camp run by Quinnipiac coach Bill Riga. The Brick camp will end prior to the start of Power Skating so you can go from the Brick camp directly to the Power Skating.
5) Camp can also serve as a tuneup for the upcoming winter season
There will be five on ice sessions over the three days (exact format subject to change for 2013 camp):
Tuesday Noon: Skill development and teaching
Tuesday Afternoon: Scrimmage/Cross ice/small area games
Wednesday AM: Skill development/Teaching
Wednesday afternoon: Game
Thursday AM: Game
We are limiting the camp to 20-24 forwards, 15-18 defensemen and 4-6 goalies at the 2004 level. Our aim is to have three teams of 7-9 forwards/5-6 defensemen/2 goalies per team. We will only accept 18 F/12 D/4 G at the 2005 level that mae-up two teams. The 2004’s will skate separately from the 2005’s. There will be no shared ice.
Staff will include Program Director Chris Masters, Junior Bruins staff/players and special guests (college coaches/current D-1 and/or pro players).
*2004′s, who participate in the 2013 Brick T&E Camp, earn a $50 credit towards cost for 2014 Brick team tryouts.
