Day Six (con't)--Harbor Hippo




After the final game of the week we (inline) skated to the water front to board the Harbor Hippo, a converted amphibious army vehical used to tour around the city and into the city harbor.

After the Hippo the boys skated back to the apartments to cook up spaghetti and make some posters for the web camera meeting in the morning.

Here are some pictures from the Hippo.
As you see the ride was a little to comfortable for some.

Here is a short video of the Hippo entering the water.

Day One-Orientation

After 17.5 hrs of flying, 7 hrs of layovers, 3 airplanes and 4 hrs in a van we had finally arrived on PEI crossing the longest bridge in the world, the Confedertion Bridge.

The total tirp seemed quite flawless as no one was sick, lost, hurt or complained about anything. The only scare happend when one of the player thought he lost his passport. That would have been an interesting conversation with both immigration and the parents.

Today is Day One of the hockey camp and I think all and players are anxious to get on the ice. The complex here on PEI has two sheets of ice as well as to miniture synthethic ice surfaces and a hockey spacific off ice trianing center. This is something that none of these players have ever seen and I am certain they will be blown away.

Do to the rainy weather we haven't been able to do the stuff as planned so instead the boys spent a few hours in the swimming pool in the Cari Center. A great spot to blow off some excess energy and for some of the boys try and meet some of the local girls!
