Brayden Point celebrates one of his 36 goals last season with the Warriors.

For most hockey players, the offseason is spent taking some time away from the game and getting back in shape for the next season.

With the Moose Jaw Warriors set to open training camp this week, Brayden Point's season hasn't ended yet.

The Warriors star centre went from the Warriors to representing Team Canada at the 2014 World Under-18 Hockey Championship. From there it was to the NHL Draft combine and then the NHL Draft.

After being selected in the third round by Tampa Bay, Point headed to the Lightning's prospects camp where he won the 3-on-3 tournament.

Point was then back in a Team Canada jersey earlier this month as he took part in the Hockey Canada Junior Summer Development Camp in Quebec, where he picked up one assist in two games against the Czech Republic.

“There was a few weeks where I got to hang out and do what 18-year-old kids do and it was a lot of fun, but the hockey was a good part of the summer too,” said Point. “There's been a lot going, but it's a lot of fun and it's always good to be playing a lot of hockey.”

Point arrived in Moose Jaw last week to help out with the Warriors' Kids Camps and now his focus has shifted to training camp, which begins later this week at Mosaic Place.

There will be a bit of a change going into camp this year for Point and the rest of the Warrior players. For as long as Point has been a member of the Warriors' organization, Mike Stothers was his head coach, but Tim Hunter takes over this year and Point is looking forward to the change.

“He's a guy with a lot of experience and a good hockey mind,” said Point. “He's a good coach and sees the game well, so it's going to be a real exciting season for us.”

Point actually has some experience playing for Hunter after he was his coach for the CHL Top Prospects Game last season. Point knows what to expect from Hunter and feels they're in good hands.

“We're just going to try to adjust as best we can,” Point said. “I know just working hard is enough with Tim.”

Point blew all expectations out of the water during his second season with the Warriors, scoring 36 goals and putting up 91 points, while playing in all 72 games. He led the Warriors in every offensive category during just his second season in the WHL.

“I don't really have any personal expectations (heading into this year),” said Point. “I just want to work my hardest, get better in practice and really help the younger guys at the first bit of the season to feel comfortable and adapt to the league. Not too many personal goals, but looking forward to team success.”

As a 17-year-old last season, Point was named an assistant captain for his leadership on the ice. Now entering his third WHL season, Point wants to take on a bigger role off the ice to help make sure the team reaches it's goal of making it back into the playoffs.

“I'm going to take on that role the best I can,” he said. “There's a good group of guys that have been in the league for a while and know some things about it, so it's good that we have that with the new guys like (Brett) Howden and (Noah) Gregor coming in, that's really going to help them.”

As a 15-year-old, Point burst onto the scene during the Warriors' playoff run, but he hasn't been able to taste the second season since. He said that's their sole focus this season.

“The message right away is going to be that the last two years have been no so good and it's going to be better this year,” said Point. “Right from training camp, it's going to be competitive.”

The 67 players taking part in this year's training camp will report on Wednesday and then the camp opens on Thursday with fitness testing in the morning and then the rookies on the ice starting at 2:00pm at Mosaic Place.
