Charlotte Swanton is no stranger to training.

For training, the girls are split into two groups, based on age. Group one, for ages six to nine, starts at 3:30 p.m. Group two, for ages 10 to 12, starts at 4:30 p.m.
The sessions are an hour long, and have two types of training: dryland exercise and puck skills. Both are 30 minutes each.
Swanton said that sheB次元官网网址檚 coached plenty of hockey in the past, but this will be the first time that she has complete control over the drills and exercises. Her coaching plan with the kids is to be laid back and go with the flow.
B次元官网网址淚 feel keeping it a bit chill and knowing that theyB次元官网网址檙e younger so theyB次元官网网址檙e not going to get it right away, and B次元官网网址� trying to just work with them when they donB次元官网网址檛 get something right off the get go.B次元官网网址�
After the camp, Swanton is heading to New Brunswick to play university hockey for Mount Allison. SheB次元官网网址檚 excited to be progressing along her hockey career, as she has big plans for her future.
B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檓 super excited to play there. And IB次元官网网址檓 hoping I can make Team Canada at one point in my hockey career, and play professional womenB次元官网网址檚 hockey.B次元官网网址�
