A few announcements were made last week surrounding your Northern Manitoba Blizzard.

 

First up, on Friday, the Blizz made another trade ahead of the upcoming season. Liam Carlone, a 2006-born forward formerly of the Winkler Flyers, will now be suiting up for Northern Manitoba. In return, the Flyers received a player development fee (PDF) and 2007-born defenceman Seth Quayle. Carlone is coming off two stellar seasons with Winkler and even served as the team's assistant captain during his tenure.

 

The Blizz continue to get better ahead of training camp, which is set to begin later this month. This past weekend, the team released its full training camp schedule and highlighted two games that will be played during this month. The camp will feature open practices as well as competitive scrimmages. More information can be found on thepasonline.com or on the team's official Facebook page.

 

One last reminder from the Blizz, they only have a limited number of spots remaining for their upcoming hockey school, which is set to kick off on August 18. There are currently nine spots available in the U7 and U9 program and just three spots remaining in the U11 program. Participants interested in registering are encouraged to visit normanblizzard.com to sign up.

 

As always, the best way to stay up to date with your Northern Manitoba Blizzard is by following the team's Facebook page or visiting their website.
