Adam Herold Legacy Camp

Raiders to help at Adam Herold leadership camp this weekend in Naicam

Nov 5, 2020 | 2:00 PM

The Adam Herold Legacy Foundation (AHLF) will hold their second Hockey and Leadership Development Program camp this season in Naicam Saturday and Sunday—and will have some special guests from the Prince Albert Raiders.

Raiders general manager Curtis Hunt, whose team drafted Herold in the 2016 WHL Bantam Draft, will be helping out with the camp and will also be the keynote speaker for a question and answer with local coaches.

Raider forward Matthew Culling, who won the 2016-17 Saskatchewan Midget AAA Hockey League title alongside Herold with the Regina Pat Canadians, will also be at the camp.

“We look forward to all of our camps but this one will be extra special with Adam’s friends and former teammates participating,” said Adam’s dad Russell Herold in a statement. “They knew Adam well and how he worked hard at hockey but was also committed to making a difference away from the game. That’s something we really try and emphasize with the kids — doing the right thing and being a leader counts not only in the dressing room but also in their schools and their communities.”

Adam Herold was the youngest of the 16 people that died in the Humboldt Broncos bus crash in 2018, the legacy foundation was created in his honour.

The camp will run from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Sunday.

This will be the second camp of the season, as Radville held the first on Oct. 24-25. A camp in Maple Creek is planned for later this month.

“We’ve had to adapt things a bit to comply with COVID regulations but everything went smoothly at our first camp in Radville,” Russell Herold said. “We’re looking forward to giving these kids a great experience and hopefully leave them with some new tools to help them make a positive difference in their communities.”

This is the third season for the AHLF Hockey and Leadership Program. Balcarres and Gravelbourg held camps in 2018-19, while Preeceville and Alameda/Torquay were hosts last season. There’s also a one-day mini-camp each year held in Montmartre, in Adam’s hometown rink where he first learned to skate.
