Steel Head Coach Steve Poapst Presents Youth Hockey Camps at The Edge
Bensenville (July 2nd, 2009) -- With the 2009 team selected, the Chicago Steel staff is focusing their attention on their annual Youth Hockey Camp, presented by the Steve Poapst Hockey Academy. The Edge Ice Arena, home rink to the Steel, will be the host of the hockey camp for players at the Mite, Squirt and Pee Wee level.  

The camp is designed to not only help players develop their individual skills, but more importantly, on the proper way to apply these skills in game situations that they will be faced with at the highest levels of Junior hockey. The four day camp includes over two hours of ice time each day, focusing on skating techniques, shooting, puck handling, checking and safety. In addition, campers will participate in off-ice activities, such as daily lacrosse games and instruction by Lacrosse America.

Staff includes Chicago Steel Head coach and former Chicago Blackhawk Steve Poapst and Steel goalie instructor Kelly Gee. Furthermore, former and current players, as well as other members of the Chicago Steel staff, will be in attendance to assist with on and off ice activities.   

The camp runs July 7^th-10^th, and is the first in a series of camps presented by the Chicago Steel during the summer months of July and August. Spaces are still available for the 2009 Chicago Steel Futures Camp, held July 24^th-26^th in Bensenville, IL and August 14^th-16^th in Kalamazoo, MI.
