U16 MALE
The Team Alberta U16 Male Program has two significant opportunities for trainers.
First, is the U16 male provincial camp. Held in the summer, trainers spend a week with the high performance
athletes through on and off-ice training. Mentor trainers are present to give the trainers he opportunity to
develop in many areas by providing constant feedback and suggestions. The week-long camps will challenge not
only the trainers’ medical and equipment skills, but also their mental preparedness. The U16 Program strives
to create an environment where staff will approach levels of commitment and excellence that each has the
potential to achieve.
Trainers are then selected to the Team Alberta U16 Male team that competes at
either the Canada Winter Games or the Western Canada U16 Challenge Cup.
