New Stars coach holds fall selection camp to fill holes
When the new Stars coach got to town and looked at the team he realized there was one big problem — the team only had one goalie.
The AAA Midget Stars had their fall selection camp and first camp under new Head Coach Darren Martens on Sunday, Aug. 21. The team didn’t have many spots to fill from last year as most of the team is returning but according to Martens one thing he didn’t inherit was two goalies.
“We’re not sure where we are going to go with our goalie decision yet,” Martens said. “We had one returning goalie out today and four others. I have a guy in mind I really liked so I’ll be inviting him out to some practices and maybe some exhibition games.”
Martens said games aren’t necessarily won or lost by the goalie but admitted the position is one of the most important calling it the “backbone of the team.”
