Portage Coach Terry Ewasiuk expects the majority of his 2011-2012 roster to arrive in Lac La Biche this Sunday, as the team prepares for its 4th ACAC season and 1st full season at the Bold Center.
The Voyageurs will have at least 12 new faces as training camp begins in the Fleming Cats perfomance arena, weeknights from 7-830. The Voyageurs will also be donating their services in the Portage Voyageurs youth hockey camp; which has grown every year since its inception at the old Centennial Arena.
When asked about his training camp expectations, Ewasiuk noted that "the rookies will be better than the veterans" as new players have been working dilligently, preparing for a new situation; while the veteran Voyageurs are aware that they have another month of time to condition themselves for the upcoming season.
The Voyageurs may not have begun practice yet, but they host the AJHL's Bonnyville Pontiacs in 8 days at the Bold Center for their first of two pre-season games on home ice.
