The Eagles stated practice Thursday September 4, 2008. Last season the Eagles started training camp on August 16, 2007. Most teams in Finland started on ice practice the last week in July.

"I am really happy with the guys this season," said Keith McAdams, General Manager. "Our team is younger, faster and every guy has a great attitude."


The player spent the last few days becoming familiar with living in Varkaus. Most players have purchased bikes to get around in the city. Some players will be using team cars and others will be taking the city bus. The housing situation this season is good. The apartments are about 1.2 kilometers from the arena. The apartments were fully furnished and are much bigger than last season. The team seems to be working hard and enjoying Finland.

The Eagles will practice 9:15-10:15 Monday through Saturday. The players attend school from about 11:15 to 4:00 PM during the week.

Notes:

The Eagles are looking to add one or two defense to the squad over next few weeks.
