Biathletes ski with National Team members Brendan Green and Jamie Robb.
Members of the Hay River Biathlon Club joined Brendan Green and Jamie Robb from the Canadian National Team for one final ski by trekking out on to the ice of Great Slave Lake on April 28th. After trudging through a foot of water and slush on the shoreline and then climbing over a pressure ridge on the edge of the lake, Joseph Christopher & Andrew Lirette, Mason Hachey and Angeline Magtibay strapped their skis on for one final time in the 2008-2009 season. Ski coach Marek Napiorkowski also accompanied the group that was lead by Pat Bobinski out on to the lake.
Ice conditions were ideal as the group skied for about an hour under sunny skies and +9 temperatures. After going for a 20 minute ski as a group, everyone enjoyed one of Pat’s famous cookies and a juice box. Afterwards, Brendan and Jamie lead the group in some games, drills and instruction designed to take advantage of the tremendous glide that everyone was getting. The Hay River biathletes appreciated the tips and the opportunity to train with two of the best biathletes that our country has to offer.
Prior to wrapping up for the afternoon, the group participated in some impromptu sprints on the lake ice by skiing all out in one direction for one minute. While it was a close race, the National team members prevailed and took top honours!
The Hay River biathletes would like to extend their thanks to Brendan Green and Jamie Robb, as well as Doug Swallow & Pat Bobinski for making this memorable and unique opportunity available to them!
