Tryout camp exposure
Players who attend the upcoming Soo Eagles spring tryout camp will not just be showcasing their skills for the North American Hockey League team.
Not only will Eagles coach-general manager Bruno Bragagnolo and head scout Tom Farnquist be evaluating players at the May 16-18 camp but coaches from the Lake Superior State University Lakers, Northern Michigan University Wildcats, Ferris State University Bulldogs and scouts from teams in the Midwest Jr. Hockey League, North American 3 Hockey League, Northern Ontario Jr. Hockey League and the new Canadian International Hockey League will be in attendance at Big Bear Arena in the Michigan Soo.
“That’s the thing about a camp like this,” said Bragagnolo. “It’s not just a tryout for the Soo Eagles. There will coaches from Division 1 (National Collegiate Athletic Association) schools as well as scouts from other junior teams there. There is a lot of exposure for players who attend a camp like this.”
Of note, the upcoming Eagles camp is by invitation only and also serves as a prelude to the June 2 NAHL draft.
“All players who attend will have been specifically invited by Bruno or myself,” said Farnquist.
Randy, the Cochrane Crunch of the NOJHL will be there.
Chad,
I figured that your team will be there. You, Brad and Ryan don’t miss much.
Regards,
Randy
Hi, it is not my intention to be rude or a smart ass but who in the frigg are the Cochrane Crunch????? Are they in the MWJHL or did i miss something?
“Cochrane Crunch of the NOJHL”. Yooper Jen: I’m going to say they are in the NOJHL and yes you did miss something. LOL.
LOL … too many G&T’s last night. I went back and red Randy’s old articles and yes I found the “Cochrane Crunch” refrences. Ok … one more question from a dumb Yooper chick … Where the frigg is Cochrane?!!
Cochrane is about an 8 hour or so drive NE of the Soo.
