Storm Advisory for September 13: Traverse City, Training Camp Roster, NHL Daily Roundup

Canes Prospects shutout Wild; Victor Rask ready to make the “leap”?

Let’s Pick Sides

The Hurricanes on Wednesday morning released their roster for training camp which begins with physicals tomorrow. Fifty-nine players will be split across two groups, named "Team Dineen" and "Team Kron" in honor of two members of the Canes’ inaugural 1997 roster. Here is the full roster (pdf), and here are the rosters for the two camp groups (pdf).

This year’s camp roster does not include any players on a professional tryout, nor will the three players who competed in Traverse City as tournament invitees be in camp. Of the players on the roster, 34 are Canes draft picks, 11 were free-agent signings, and 13 were acquired via trade or waivers. One player, Nick Schilkey, is signed to an AHL deal but does not have an NHL contract.

Fans will have the chance to see both groups in action when the on-ice portion of training camp begins on Friday, Sept. 15, and then again at the Caniac Carnival on Sunday, Sept. 17.
