Six months ago, Marie-Philip Poulin was inspiring Kamloops’ female hockey players on the international stage. Last week, she was doing it on a much smaller scale. Poulin was in Kamloops for three days last week, coaching 30 local girls in the third-annual Future Stars ice hockey camp at Brock Arena. “I’m really excited, but mixed feelings for sure,” a smiling Poulin said of her return to Kamloops. Canada lost to the United States in overtime of the 2016 IIHF Women’s World Championship at Sandman Centre, 1-0. “It was such an exciting moment when we came here,” she said. “Not the end result, for sure, but the crowd that was there, the people that came to support us, it was just amazing. “Being back here with the girls on the ice and being able to teach, it’s quite awesome for sure.” Future Stars camps began in 2010, when former Olympic runner George Short had the idea to give young high-performance athletes the opportunity to work with and learn from Canadian Olympians. Since then, camps have been held in every province in Canada and have connected Olympians with hundreds of athletes — in athletics, basketball, figure skating, swimming, ice hockey, field hockey, volleyball, soccer, mountain biking and rowing — across the nation. And, in a sense, the program got its start in Kamloops. “Actually, our very first camp was at the TCC in swimming. That was our very first camp and we’ve just expanded from there,” said Short, whose personal Olympic career involved running in the 100-metre dash and the 4x100-metre relay for
Canada at the 1960 Games in Rome. “The idea was really to bring to kids the idea of being an Olympic athlete because a lot of kids have that in their minds, but they don’t know what it means [to get there].” Poulin said she focuses on teaching girls to push themselves out of their comfort zones in a camp situation like the one in Kamloops. She also tries to make sure the girls have fun, but work hard at the same time. But speaking with camp participants Carsen Moffett, Dawson Benson and Sydney Clare following practice Friday, it was clear Poulin’s personal journey and the sacrifices she made to play hockey, the topic of the lecture portion of the weekend, was on most girls’ minds. “She really had to push herself,” Moffett said. “She’s French and she had to go to an English school and move away when she was only 15. That really stood out.” Moffett also went to the Future Stars camp two years ago, when Meghan Agosta was in Kamloops. “These are the girls you look up to and see on TV,” she said. “It’s really cool getting to have that opportunity.” Poulin will soon turn her attention to a new Canadian Women’s Hockey League season, with training camps beginning around the nation shortly and the professional league’s 10th season set to begin in October. After Poulin’s Les Canadiennes de Montréal lost to the Calgary Inferno in last year’s Clarkson Cup final, the two-time Olympic gold medallist is looking to bring the women’s title back to Quebec in 2016-2017. “I can’t believe summer is almost over but I’m really excited to start a new season,” the 25-year-old said. Future Stars will return to Kamloops in 2017 with 2014 Olympic gold medallist and Calgary Inferno forward Brianne Jenner set to host.
