Men's Hockey head coach Daniel Cudmore had this to say about the Junior 'Canes chances of icing a team this fall. 

"Things look promising.  We've had a good working relationship with the league commisioner, we've been able to secure a suitable ice time for our home games at a beautiful facility, the Charlottetown Civic Centre, and have had a good response from potential players who fit the league's skill level.  That is what we've been asked to provide by the league's first meeting in early September, and there have been no issues. So things look good, and we're certainly excited as the fall nears."
 
There will be an information session at Holland College's Charlottetown Centre on Thursday, September 23rd at 4 p.m. for any students who are interested in trying out for the team.
 
"So far, we've had a good mix of talent contact us," says Cudmore.  "They are coming from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and a few from P.E.I. The guys are excited, and this should give exposure to the league outside of P.E.I., as family and friends from off-island will be able to keep tabs on things over the Internet.  They will also leave P.E.I. with memories of playing in this league and with Holland College that will last a lifetime, which they will pass onto others.  We're really hitting a group of players that have not been involved in this league before," he added.
 
If all goes well at next months league meeting, the Men's Hockey Program will hit the ice for training camp on Friday, October 8th.  Below is the full training camp schedule.
