‘”Summer training for players this age is critical,” said assistant GM Randy Sexton. “I’ve seen it happen in other development camps where you have these high-intensity scrimmages or practices. Kids are competitive by nature and now you’ve got five kids that are nursing injuries for 2-3 weeks. And that throws a serious wrench into their training regiments. So we need to be sure, back to helping these players becoming as good as they’re capable of them becoming, that it includes a strong summer of off-ice training.”‘
