The Melville experience




Well without spending one night in the classic motel in Melville which was a real beauty by all appearances we bailed and moved to the only other available motel. Melville is really old small town with not a lot going on, basically a prairie hockey town in all regards. The coaching staff and people around the millionaires were a class act as were the people we came across during the weekend. They had players from Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, northern Manitoba and of course all over Saskatchewan..Sam had as line mates two native players who he became friends with through the camp, both big and tough and skilled with their war clubs(plenty of native players at the camp). Plenty of good players, the 92 age group being last year Midgets especially feeling the pressure to break into junior hockey,can be a scary thought about whether it's going to be adult safe hockey or junior for the upcoming season. On a personal note, the coaching staff was very complimentary about Sam's camp and felt he did very well. I have attached a few photos to share with interested parties and we really enjoyed the experiences in Melville.
