thanks rich. any word on when the prospect/training camps will begin. even if you dont have dates, what months will they start. thanks alot.
Mike...I'm a bit surprised that they haven't announced anything about the prospects camp. It's typically in early- to mid-July, so I'll ask somebody about it today.
Training camp is usually the second week of September, so I would guess a start date of the 10th, 11th or 12th. Obviously as soon as I know something for certain, I'll post it.
i'm not a hundred percent sure but i believe i heard somewhere that prospect camp starts july 8-15.
i just got word from RinkRat over at LGK, he said its going to be July 8-15th, which would be awesome cuz its so soon.
