North Stars training camp officially underway with fitness testing
There’s a reason fitness testing at Battlefords North Stars training camp begins with cardio; it drains you.
On Wednesday afternoon, four groups of roughly twenty players set out to the track behind Beaver Lions Stadium one at a time to begin 2017 fitness testing with a one-mile run.
Four laps in less than six minutes was the goal.
“It’s hard to crack the six-minute mark but you’ve just got to just push through it,” North Stars defensive prospect Matthew Fletcher said after his group had completed all the exercises. “The toughest part of fitness testing would probably be the one-mile run.”
