Training Camp - Day Zero

Okay here it is, just hours before registration and the official start of training camp. As I was able to mention yesterday, almost all of the returning players and a few of the off-season recruits and even a few of the prospects for the 2009-10 season have already hit the ice in preparation of the Spruce Kings main camp.

The first order of business will be the registration of the players beginning at noon. All players will be weighed and measured and then assigned to one of four teams for practices, scrimmages and a series of fitness tests. The first ice time will be for Team Red and Team Blue who will be on the ice for a ninety minute practice ... Team White and Team Grey will follow with their practice time.

The first game scrimmage will be at 6:00 between Team Red and Team Blue, Team White and Team Grey will have their first scrimmage at 8:15pm. The teams will then switch up opponents for a pair of scrimmages that will bookend some fitness testing at Masich Place Stadium. Sunday morning the four teams will play their final opponents in the final two scrimmages of main camp before gearing up for the annual intra squad game.

All of the events are open to the public including the Blue White game Sunday at 3:00pm in the Coliseum. The game will feature a heavy rookie laden squad with a few veterans on each roster. The game itself will be a normal game with referees and off-ice officials, but the players know it will be their biggest game of the weekend.
