ND FCA held its annual Fall Festival in Fargo and teamed up with FCA Hockey Ministries to provide free hockey skills clinics to youth hockey players at the Urban Plains Center in Fargo.  44 hockey players participated in the skills clinics that were ran by Rick Randazzo, Todd Steinweg and Jeremy Simpkins all with FCA Hockey Ministries.  Rick is the director of FCA Hockey Ministries and is a former Naval Academy head hockey coach and played college hockey at West Point. A special thanks to the Fargo Force and their hospitality in providing the ice time and discounted tickets to the Friday night Force game to the clinic participants and volunteers.  If you would like to know more about FCA Hockey Ministries, check out their web site at www.fcahockey.org   

I thought the camp was outstanding with the emphasis on working those individual skills and breaking down into the small groups.  the coaching staff was great and they seemed to get quite an effort out of each individual player as well as the entire group.  The message was clear and not overwhelming to the players which is great.  My daughter got a lot of instruction and it will indeed help her on the ice and off as well. thanks.  Chad M.
