Despite their season just coming to an end less than three weeks ago, the Diamond Energy Female Midget 'AAA' Wildcats are already working towards the 2017/18 season.

The Wildcats will host their annual spring camp this weekend, looking to build the foundation of their 2017/18 roster.

"We really want to do our job as coaches, making sure that we watch closely and if there are some kids that we think can play, for sure, we will probably make some commitments to them this weekend and get kids in our fold," Wildcats Head Coach Terry Pavely said.

"It helps us know where we stand, which helps us when we go to some of the Sask First events later. If we don't have 14 spots to fill it narrows it done for what kind of player we are looking for."

The two day camp will begin on Saturday before concluding on Sunday at the Fairview East Arena.

Having had their season end at the hands of the Saskatoon Stars for a third straight season, and seeing the Prince Albert Northern Bears win the SFMAAAHL title, Pavely says they are wanting to model those teams and try to build a bigger roster this year.

"We'd like to run a full roster," he said.

"I think it makes your practices a lot better. Does it make it difficult to get those kids enough ice time? Yeah, you don't always need to run four lines, but I think the development through practice will help those kids. We would like to get ourselves in a spot where we feel there is enough good kids that we can run four lines and they are able to contribute."

The Wildcats have 13 returning players this season, including Taylor Lind, who led the league in points last year.

With that nucleus in tact, Pavely knows exactly what kinds of players they are looking to add to the mix.

"We want kids who have a high level of compete," he said.

"If you can compete hard, you make up for mistakes and you have that desire to win one-on-one battles. The kids who compete usually want to win and that is what we are looking for."

The Wildcats Head Coach did add that skill is obviously a key as well.

"We want kids that can play the game at a good pace and handle the puck at a good pace," he said.

"We want to be a team that can control the puck and not a team that is forced to just get rid of the puck."

This weekend's camp will feature 22 forwards, 14 defencemen and 5 goalies, with 16 of those players having Midget 'AAA' experience.
