ODP 2011/2012

Back in the fall of 2011 Cade tried out and made the local regional ODP team consisting of the best players born in 1999 in the Eugene, Corvallis, Salem and Roseburg areas. The team trained together every other week until the March ODP inter-regional tournament where his team played the other local ODP teams from Portland, Vancouver, Medford and Bend. After that tourney, despite injuries to his knees and back, Cade made the State ODP team of the top 38 boys in the state born in 1999. This team trained five weekends until the Friendship Cup tournament over Memorial Day weekend. Cade was very happy to have made the 'A' team (top 18) for that tourney and was looking forward to making the top 18 that get to go to the Regional camp with the top boys from 13 western states. But, his hurt knees and reinjured back got the better of him and he couldn't practice the last couple sessions before the Regional camp players were announced. Cade was very disappointed to not go to Regional camp but it was actually good for him to have a full week of rest; his back has finally healed and his knees continue to improve with physical therapy. His goal is to be healthy next year and fight for a spot at Regional camp 2013! ODP is now sponsored by the Portland Timbers and it was fun seeing Cade in full Timbers gear.
