It’s show time.
Okay maybe not yet but we’re getting dangerously close.
Because nothing says “start of a new season” quite like the team’s annual golf tournament. Golf tournament, fitness testing and the first day of camp. Then preseason. Then regular season. Then playoffs. Once that ball starts rolling down hill, it picks up speed in a hurry.
As the players get set for a rainy round of golf, the team has announced the 59 players that will attend this year’s Training Camp.
The list includes six goaltenders, 20 defencemen and 33 forwards. It also includes four players that are listed as injured to start the camp including Viktor Lodin, Kyle McDonald, Zack Ostapchuk and Zackary Massicotte.
The first on-ice session is on Thursday and the plan is to hold three daily sessions for the first two days into two groups ahead of Saturday’s preseason openers.
Hockey! It’s almost here!
