Making the Cut 2008

The Texas Brahmas' three-day prospect camp has begun

Making the Cut 2008 opened on Thursday evening with 22 players showing up to compete for two positions on the Texas Brahmas official training camp roster.

Brahmas Head Coach Dan Wildfong and Assistant Coach Ron Vogel were on hand to advise the athletes as to what the Brahmas' expectations are for the 2008-09 season and what to expect at the camp.

Attendees came from as far away as Vancouver, Prince Edward Island and even Australia. Four attendees were at last years camp.

"It's a good opportunity for these guys and this is their shot," Coach Dan Wildfong said. "I think it's unbelievable, the heart that these guys have and their dedication to the game to come down and take a shot at the Brahmas...I'm excited for these guys."

Assisting coaches Dan Wildfong and Ron Vogel will be former Texas Tornado and current Texas Renegades Assistant Coach Chris Nichols, former Fort Worth Brahma captain Wes Mason and current Texas Brahmas Jason Deitsch, Craig Minard and Lance Galbraith. Aaron Davis, Scott Alexander, John Michael Thomas and Bill Ivey will also be assisting.

The Making the Cut practices will begin Friday morning at 8:30 at the NYTEX Sports Centre. Camp will conclude Sunday with the announcement of the two players selected for the official CHL training camp contracts.

Fans are invited to attend all on-ice sessions. The schedule can be viewed here.
