Legacy camps

Adam Herold camp venues announced for upcoming season

May 20, 2021 | 1:00 PM

The Adam Herold Legacy Foundation found three more venues for its Hockey and Leadership Development Program for the upcoming season.

Carrot River, Langenburg, and Quad Town (made up of Vibank, Odessa, Francis and Sedley), will host camps this year.

The foundation was established to honour Adam Herold, the youngest player killed in the Humboldt bus tragedy and a highly-touted prospect of the Prince Albert Raiders. The Hockey and Leadership Development program provides opportunities for Saskatchewan youth to develop and refine on-ice skills, as well as their leadership potential.

Each camp includes three full days of hockey and leadership development and is a joint effort between the foundation and host communities.

“We had a great selection of applicants again this year, so it’s gratifying to see so many communities interested in the work of the foundation and what it brings to these rural areas,” said Russ Herold, Adam’s dad in a statement. “I think a lot of that interest can be chalked up to the positive feedback we continue to receive from the communities where we have already hosted camps so we’re very pleased with that.”

Initially, the foundation planned to visit only two communities during the 2021-22 hockey season. But a new partnership with the Western Hockey League’s Prince Albert Raiders and Global Sports Academy enabled an additional community to be selected. Adam was a top prospect of the Raiders so the team wanted to join with the foundation to host the Carrot River program.

“We were touched by this offer from the Raiders and Global Sports Academy to bring our program to an additional community this year,” Herold said. “It means the world to us that the Raiders continue to honour Adam in such a meaningful way.”

The 2021-22 camps will take place during the upcoming fall/winter. Since 2018, the foundation has brought its Hockey and Leadership program to Balcarres, Gravelbourg, Alameda, Montmartre, Torquay, Preeceville, Radville, Naicam, and Maple Creek.
