Scuderi at Penguins Youth Hockey School

Thursday was Rob Scuderi's turn to visit the Penguins Youth Hockey School at the RMU Island Sports Center on Neville Island and help in their training for the day.

While at the camp, Scuds talked about the off-season and the closely approaching training camp with Joe Sager.

“This time of year, it feels a little strange because we haven’t had as much time off. But, you still have the same feelings: you’re excited to get another year started. Certainly, with the promise of last year, it makes it that much more exciting to get back into it and get camp started,” he said. “It’ll be nice to have everyone back together again. In the summer, everyone scatters and that’s fine because we all have our family and our friends in our hometowns and whatnot, but it’s nice to have everyone on the same page. We know everyone is working out and getting prepared, but nothing is like that first day where you have that first real practice and real skate with hitting and whatnot.”

As it sounds, Scuderi is looking forward to training camp too (and he obviously likes the word "whatnot").
