How far has Sergey Tolchinsky come in the past couple of months? The winger went from the disappointment of not being chosen in the NHL Entry Draft to earning himself an NHL contract.
Most recently, he led the entire Traverse City Tournament with eight points, (5G 3A) and has now earned himself a spot on the Hurricanes training camp roster. What's next?
Tolchinsky will join Traverse City teammates Ryan Murphy, Brody Sutter, Victor Rask, Brendan Woods, Elias Lindholm, Brock McGinn, Danny Biega, Trevor Carrick, Austin Levi, Keegan Lowe and Beau Schmitz in Raleigh this week.
In all, 27 forwards, 17 defensemen, and four goalies will start out in camp, including tryout invitee Radek Dvorak.
The players will undergo physicals and have photos taken first thing Wednesday morning and will then start out their on ice sessions Thursday, as training camp begins. The team will start out with two sessions per day, leading up to the scrimmage on Sunday afternoon.
The preseason will begin with a game at the PNC against the Blue Jackets next Wednesday, September 18.
