Start saving up your money! The Ducks Fantasy Camp dates have been set for August 28-31, 2006. For a mere $2250 you get to experience training camp with Ducks facilities, coaches, and players. I hear the ice bath is something you don't want to miss.

I need to get more donations for my 'Poor Hockey Players Foundation'. More for my goalie gear rather than camp, though I'd love to go!

[PortBeach13]

Hmm I might be able to afford this but I already signed up for Rick Heinz goalie/player school here in CT. If anybody does go hope you have loads of fun...

Add the cost of gear if you don't play and it becomes astronomical. I would prefer to spend that kind of money on season tickets. Perhaps I will go watch this year and report on the camp.
