hey regan i enjoy going down and watching main camp do u know what time there on the ice on tues
I'll get back to you on that one.
Blades Camp has opened here in Saskatoon as well and they only have about 70+ players attending. I would guess that the Rockets may have the biggest turnout of players attending WHL camps?
Hey Mike. Thanks for the visit and the info. This will be one of the Rockets biggest camps ever. It will be interesting to see who in fact shows up and who the no shows are. I heard the Rockets could have as many as ten American born players at rookie camp.
As far as I know only 1 American born player will be at Blades camp,I could be wrong though,and with the renavations to the Credit Union Centre,everyone hopes that it will attract more players. The Blades will have probably about 10 regulars out of the line up for opening night including both of last years goalies who will be attending NHL camps.
It looks like the Blades European pick Hampus Gustafsson did make his way over here. You probably would know if the Rockets new Import made his way over there eh? I read your blog on a regular basis great job. keep up the good work!!
