PrintThe Carolina Hurricanes released their training camp roster and schedule today. Camp looks to be a bit crowded as a total of 59 players have been invited. Things get started with physicals and photo sessions on Friday, Sepember 19th.
After that, the players will be divided into 3 groups and will practice in "A", "B", and "C" sessions. That doesn't leave much time to prepare for the upcoming Red/White scrimmage on September 21st. The Canes website gives a complete listing of players invited, which includes 6 goalies, 18 defensemen, and 35 forwards.
Of course Albany's players will be here along with 6 free agent tryouts which include, Jeff O'Neill, Brett Theberge, Ryan Weston, Benn Olson, Ryan McGinnis, and David Leggio.
It seems that Robert Slaney has been signed by Albany, so technically he will not be here on a tryout as we reported here yesterday, although he will still be here.
Time is getting short and obviously we will be watching things very closely here on the blog.
Ciao!
Tom Petty

I admit to total ignorance on this, but I saw Bobby Hughes on the list. I thought he was still dealing with a major injury, or am I confused? I have trouble keeping up with the prospect game!

He was back on the ice late last year — not really practicing to play, but at least getting back out there. The proof will be in the pudding with Bobby. Hopefully he’s overcome the neck/back issues and can put a full season in with Albany. The stuff I write over at Hockey’s Future is at this link: http://www.hockeysfuture.com/teams/carolina_hurricanes
Hopefully that helps some. I’m going to contact the Canes soon and see if I can speak to Jeff Daniels about Albany this year, and we’ll get see how Hughes looks in camp.
