calgary was pretty strange, these were from my hotel room:

last saturday i woke up at a ridiculous hour so i could take the commuter rail out to wilmington to watch the bruins development camp:

they started off with some amazingly complex drills, involving 4 or 5 players on each side, with 3 or 5 distinct stages to each drill, sometimes with 4 groups going at a time (2 on each side). it exemplified the... art? of hockey that i enjoy watching during games. but some of the later drills were a little more dull.

after their two-hour lunch they played a four-on-four scrimmage. one team jumped out to a 4-0 lead pretty quickly, so it was a little dull too. (but just like a real bruins game!)

i'd probably go back when the real camp starts, if it's still open to the public.
