"Hope Skates"

The past weekend I went to the SKATE ZONE for the Flyers Mini-camp. Basically a bunch of young players including the teams recent first round draft pick were invited to work out and do some hard skating drills. I was there for the first round which included Steve Downie who is pegged to be a big part of the Flyers future down the line. Downie is 20, so he can actually play for the PHantoms this year. You can tell it was a long off season so far, because a lot of people were there for the mini-camp. The camp had others like Ryan Pounltny, Parent, and Jars Johnson. Fans gathered and talked about their high hopes f0r the 2007-08 season. People were all talking to each other about the next year's porspects. There was a group of late 30 to 40 yearold women who knew amazingly alot about the sport. The one girl that I talked to knew pretty much everyone on the ice, which is more than I can say for myself(they were nice enough to give us a roster sheet though). I do feel though that she like Poultny for different reasons than I do though. All, and all a nice way to hold me over till training camp. Kind of hoping Dan the Man would have randomly showed up, but if he did he was hanging out in the locker room.
