Dave Weloy, Head Coach of the U18 Junior Team Canada team, had this to say about 2016 JTC's experience in Sheffield so far, "We are having an absolute blast over here in Sheffield, England . The people of England have been very accommodating to all three teams and families. The coaching staff, medical team, equipments manager , and general managers are very much appreciated and have all been working hard and creating a memorable experience for these boys. The players are clearly the best of the best in Canada and are proud to wear the Canadian jersey . They are highly motivated and respectfully of the program having prepared their bodies and minds for over a year . After landing in London England and having a day to walk around the city we quickly moved into our 2 days of training camp to go over our practice plans and systems to have all the players prepared and on the same page. Everyday we have doing some fun team building events to offer the players support on the mental side of the game along with technical chalk talk each day to keep us on track with our systems. The plans is quite simple and consist of believing and trust each other creating a bonding friendship amongst each player, Defensively responsible, offensively committed, team discipline, and hard work. It's important to us coaches that theses players learn , grow, develop , and have fun. The coaching staff Kevin and Ted and I believe in these boys and are very proud of each and every player on our team.".
