Training Camp at Winsport

[Caged Great]

Any idea when the actual on ice stuff is supposed to be?

[Finger Cookin]

I kind of assumed on-ice stuff wouldn't start until tomorrow or Thursday. Doesn't fitness testing usually take place the first day? Not really sure.

TSN mentioned in passing that NHL training camps open on Thursday.

[Caged Great]

Thanks, I had assumed because they had been skating at winsport and had the ice booked today that they would have some sort of thing today. Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case.

Today is the Golf tournament. Tomorrow they're hungover..
