Ryan Malone returned to Minnesota Hockey Camps to continue the training he started at age 15. Below is a quote taken from Pittsburgh Penguins Team Feature Story: MALONE RETURNS TO ROOTS AT SUMMER HOCKEY CAMP by Brian Coe:

That summer workout routine hasn’t stopped for Malone, who continues to refine his game and stay in shape by taking part in the Minnesota Hockey Camp in Brainerd, MN - one of the top retreats for prospective and current pros in North America. He plans on skating for three weeks before returning to Pittsburgh to prepare for the upcoming season.

“In Brainerd, you’ll get whipped into shape,” Malone said. “In three weeks usually you’re in top shape. In three weeks you can see an improvement in your skating, so that camp has helped me and pretty much made me the player I am today.”
