Brian Bradley, a former Tampa Bay Lightning player, ran the Pinellas Police Athletic League Stars squads through a practice earlier this week at the Clearwater Ice Arena. The players, from PAL's bantams and pee wee/squirts squads, worked on stickhandling, passing and skating.
Players from both squads teams gather before the practice.
Colin waits his turn to take part in a drill as Bradley provides on-ice instructions.

Colin tries to get one last shot past his goalie after a short-ice, double-net drill.
Did I mention there's always lots of skating at these practices? Well, there is.

Cool pics. Man Colin look small next to some of those guys.
ReplyDeleteInstruction from Brian Bradley - cool. I liked him when he came into the league with the Canucks. I was sad when they traded him.
At 8 years old, he's one of the youngest. He plays for the pee wee/squirts team (9-12), but this practice included the bantams (13-17).
ReplyDeleteHe got to do a one-on-one passing drill with Bradley.
BTW, the Missus took the pics. I was at the paper.
That must be intimidating...being on the ice with guys twice his age.
ReplyDeleteGood on him!
And to do a drill with an NHLer...now that's cool!
