| Carolina Hurricanes Prospect Camp - Peter Koutroumpis, PKS Consulting LLC |
As Ron Francis, Carolina Hurricanes Vice President for Hockey Operations, described the wrap-up of the team's prospect camp at Raleigh Center Ice in Raleigh, N.C. he started by stating, "I don't know if people understand how tough a week it is."
Francis continued on by noting the 2012 group's positive attitude that it maintained during a daily routine that started at 7 a.m. and didn't finish until 7 p.m. each night for four straight days.
"There's been no complaining, they're still smiling, they're still battling and working hard. "That shows us a lot of character there," Francis said.
Some of what these aspiring NHL players went through physically included running the stairs beginning on the floor of PNC Arena all the way to the roof, completing a five-mile bike test and then running sixteen 100-yard sprints, all before working out on the ice for an hour during the late afternoon.
"They all did really well," Francis stated.
All prospects will now go home and take the information and experience they gathered during the past four days to keep working hard with hopes of eventually earning an opportunity to show what they've got at training camp.
