KODIAK MIDGET AAA
Team History
The Camrose AAA Midget Kodiaks team began in 2001/02 as the Camrose AAA Midget Nordics. The Nordics were founded by Hugh Nestor and our current manager Len Frankson. Their tireless work, effort and vision make this team what it is today. Coach Orcheski was the founding coach and remains at the helm today.
The name of the team changed in 2004 when it became the AAA Midget Kodiaks, an affiliate team of the Junior A kodiaks. Working together, the teams are able to build a unique environment that develops skilled players who are ready for the next level.
The team requires a strong commitment from the players, coaches, trainer and management team. It also takes dedication on the part of the parents. The management and coaching staff would like to acknowledge our great parent team for this!!!
