Everyone knows that the Vancouver Canucks have difficult and gruelling training camps under head coach Travis Green. On Thursday at the introductory press conferences at Rogers Arena, both management and the players alike were talking about how difficult of a training camp it was going to be the next day.
Day 1
As expected, day one of training camp saw a lot of bag skating. For those that don’t know, a bag skate is when the players are instructed to skate from one end of the ice to the other, over and over. Coach Green likes to get a gauge for how his players’ conditioning is and if they are indeed well equipped to go through an 82 game season.
