2008 Summer Camp Pictures - Walker Arena, Grand Rapids

[fiveholegoalie]

This is our third consecutive sold out year in Grand Rapids, MI and the week has been great!

Today is going to be awesome as we have a professional video production company coming in to shoot one of 4 days of a Bandits promo video that will be coming out later this fall! We'll be shooting video at several of our camp locations this summer. The Bandits staff is excited to show goalies around the world what makes us one of the premier goalie schools in North America!

He's wearing a custom Nike XXX goal pant. Unfortunately they do not sell this pant in retail.

1st post - 3rd picture down - is that Nate P.? He's been my sons best friend since kindergarten. I also recognize most of the other attendees / shooters. Apparently I've hung out at too many camps / games / whatever.

The kid in the mostly silver & white summits is not from GR - correct? I believe Sean played against him this past year, which was funny because their gear colors are reversed.

Just curious - P/S

Yes, NP has been to our camps for several years and I've worked with him personally for 3 years now. He plays varsity high school in Grandville and I've been their goalie coach for the past 4 seasons.

As for the goalie in the silver pads, he played JV high school last year in Grand Rapids. He's a solid goalie and a hard worker on and off the ice. He has potential to move up for sure.

Talk to you soon.

PS: where is your son playing this year?

[psofmars]

Sean will be back with the Griffins this year.

His school has a combined team and it's a young program. He's made the cut 2x's but let it go each time to stay with the team he's already on. Oct. tryouts mean you've already established yourself on the other team.

Single parent = not a lot of extra $$$ for summer camps. Thing about the BB Clinic, it's my vacation too, and total cost is somewhat less than the camp week in GR. Nate has been to the last 2 BB Clinics also.

I'd have to look thru the yrs. photos to remember who the silver/white summits played for. I just remember them on opp. ends in reverse gear. Too funny.

P/S

I though the reverse summits were awesome looking!!

[psofmars]

They are nice but notice his legs are mostly silver but his catch / block are mostly white - my son (Sean) has legs mostly white and catch / block mostly silver. Like they swapped the other guys' gear ("Hey - can I try your stuff ").

That's what made it funny to see them on the ice together.
