Nice story on Hartley giving back to the game...

"I put lots of pride to try and bring the best coaching staff possible for those kids," Hartley said. "I think we established an excellent reputation over the years that we're a very serious camp, and whether it's from the medical standpoint to the hockey standpoint, every part of our camp, we're trying to be as top notch as we possibly can."

This year's camp includes instruction from former NHL'ers Steve Begin, Eric Perrin, former NHL assistant coach Paul Jerrard and will feature guest appearances from current members of the Calgary Flames, Mark Giordano and Johnny Gaudreau. As coaches, their job is to teach different aspects of the game to the kids, based on how old they are. And for Hartley, it's his way of getting back to the basics and preparing for his own upcoming season.

"I'm getting ready for next season and these two weeks force me to go back to the real deep fundamentals of the game and teaching and communicating the game in another way," he said. "It's the same game as the NHL, but it's being taught to younger kids."
