The Prince George Kodiaks’ Spring Identification and Evaluation Camp wrapped up this afternoon with the first Spirit Game at Masich Place Stadium.
The camp was held over three days.
“It’s been fun, lots of new faces and a whole bunch of returning faces,” said Head Coach Jamie Boreham.
“It’s nice to meet the families, real good compete level, we’ve definitely taken some steps in the offseason.”
The Kodiaks finished 2024 with a 3-7 record, but continuously showed improvement throughout the season, something Boreham hopes the team will continue.
“I think we let them lead it, they took the steps that we needed to, and we just put them in positions to grow that leadership, grow that foundation, build the culture that exists within that locker room,” Boreham said.
“We’re really excited about what’s going to happen and we got another six weeks or so to get started before training camp.”
Quarterback Sawyer Thiessen said he had a good offseason.
“I got to go home early December, spend some time with family,”
“Recovering, I had surgery, so just kind of getting back to it, and excited to be with the team now, I got to Prince George this week. Spring Camp’s been a whole lot of fun. The team’s really coming together, it’s been awesome.”
In terms of how he improved in the off-season, Thiessen said he improved most mentally.
“This game gets down to the nitty gritty, and just being able to mentally continue and push on and push forward,” he said.
“Rehabbing does that to a person, so looking forward to sharing what happened this offseason, get my teammates along side.”
Thiessen injured his meniscus during the last season, but he said it’s feeling good now.
As a part of the Spirit Game, there was a 50/50 draw with proceeds going towards the Spirit of the North Healthcare Foundation.
The jackpot hit $20,700.
