Trottier hockey camp filled to capacity Continued from pg. 16 feelings between the two. It also hasn't stopped him from running his hockey schools in the U.S. and Canada during the summer months. The inaugural Acton week-long camp was filled to capacity, with 126 youths mainly from this area taking part, including Trottier's fouryear-old son, Christian. Along with Trottier, longtime NHL defenceman Jay Wells served as an instructor and there were guest appearances by former Islander goalie Billy Smith and current Canadian women's team member Sami-Jo Small. The idea for the camp came from Acton resident Nathan Marzo, who owns the Inside Edge sports store in town and has a business partnership with Trottier for a line of athletic apparel called Performance Wear. "With a lot of hockey schools, they'll bring in an NHL guy like Jason Spezza and he might be on the ice for a bit and then sign some autographs," said Marzo, who plans to bring the camp back to Acton next August. "Not Bryan, he's on the ice for six hours a day. He's hands on and the kids really respond well to that." The camp also involved a dry-land component and self-confidence-building sessions. Marzo added that in order to accommodate the camp, the Acton Arena opened two weeks earlier than usual. "Nathan has done a wonderful job organizing this," Trottier said. "He and his dad Phil and wife Victoria have been able to get so much local support with volunteers and sponsorships and it's great to work with such enthusiastic kids here in Acton."
