First Annual Atlanta Thrashers Spring Break Camp Sponsored By RBC Bank In The Books
The Atlanta Thrashers kicked off their Spring and Summer Camp Series sponsored by RBC Bank earlier this week with their first annual Spring Break Camp. The sold out camp featured 3 days of on ice instruction and guest appearances from Thrashers Forward Todd White as well as Assistant Coaches Todd Nelson and Randy Cunneyworth. Day two of the camp provided all 50 campers with a number of special opportunities. That morning, prior to taking the Philips Arena ice for a practice of their own, all camp participants were invited down early for exclusive access to the Thrashers and Devils morning skates. Many of the Thrashers players took time to sign autographs for the campers as they headed to the locker room. Thrashers forwards Chris Thorburn and Evgeny Artyukhin quickly became camp favorites on the other end of the ice as they tossed pucks to the young crowd at the conclusion of practice. Next up, RBC representatives were joined by “Leo The Lion,” the official mascot of RBC Bank, as they hosted an interactive banking seminar for the campers complete with prizes and giveaways.
The event continued as the players took the NHL ice from 1-3pm for a clinic focused on “defensive skills” and “small area games,” and following their practice, many camper stuck around to watch the Thrashers in action as they took on the New Jersey Devils.
The Atlanta Thrashers would like to thank all of the families who took part in the inaugural Spring Break Camp sponsored by RBC Bank. You can check out some of the exciting action from this week’s camp by clicking here!
