GDI President Dan Blackburn traveled to Skara, Sweden to help new RM Torleif Lundstein and Martin Desner put on their first GDI week-long camp. Germany RM Ben Weichart met up with the fellow Euros to help out and lend his own personal expertise in how to best run the rigorous schedule a GDI camp demands.
Among the attendees were four DEL goalies from Germany and 2 German National team goalies, who helped to make this camp a success. Perhaps, though, the Swedes/Germans were not as devoted to their training in the off-season as they would be ideally, as Blackburn joked they had to take "a spa day" in the middle of the week to recuperate from the intense level of physical activity.
An interesting thing to note is that the Goalie Monkey has a store in Sweden that will soon be featuring GDI gear. You can see the new GDI pads in the picture above, featuring Jimmy Blomqvist, who was certainly the best-equipped goalie in the camp (and we think his choice of fiery red, silver and white was pretty spectacular too!) Additionally, the new gear sizing suite is up on the GDI website. Changes to the previous sizing suite mean that you can customize your EVO2 gear as well as send your order directly to your local dealer via email or fax. Check it out!
