Youth and adults can sign up for the 2012 Seattle Thunderbirds Hockey School that runs Aug. 6-11 and Aug. 13-18 at the ShoWare Center in Kent.
T-Birds Assistant Coach Darren Rumble will be the lead instructor at the hockey school. Center Tyler Alos will be one of the instructors.
“I am looking forward to being a part of another fun year at the Hockey School,” said Alos in a T-Birds media release. “With coach Rumble running the school this year it is going to be fun and educational for all the kids involved.”
Other T-Birds players taking part as instructors will be announced in coming weeks.
Participants in the T-Birds fourth annual Hockey School can choose one of two weeks to participate in the school.
There are four youth groups: Group A for kids ages 6, 7 and 8; Group B for ages 9-10; Group C for ages 11-12; and Group D for ages 13-14. There will be an Adult group for players 18 and older.
For the third consecutive year the T-Birds will offer a Junior Prep Group geared towards players ages 15-19 preparing for their upcoming junior season. T-Bird players will participate in both the on-ice and off-ice sessions of the Junior Prep Group as they prepare for the 2012-13 season.
Players interested in the Junior Prep Group will be required to call T-Birds Hockey Operations Assistant Jeff Caso at 253-239-7825 to register.
The Youth and Junior Prep groups will receive an hour and a half of on-ice instruction followed by a one hour off-ice session. On the Saturday of the camp there will be a scrimmage game for each group.
The Adult group will feature a two-hour on-ice session preceded by an off-ice video instruction session.
The youth camps cost $250, the Junior Prep camp $350 and the adult camp $300.
