Carolina Hurricanes Announce 2018 Training Camp Roster and Updated Schedule

The Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday announced their roster for the team’s 2018 training camp, which begins with physicals on Thursday and on-ice sessions on Friday. Due to the anticipated effects of Hurricane Florence, which is expected to impact the Triangle beginning Thursday night, the on-ice sessions on Friday, Saturday and Sunday will be closed to the public. As of now, the sessions on Monday at 8:45 and 10:45 will be open to the public, but that could change as the weather dictates.

UPDATE 9/12/18 6:30 pm: The Hurricanes have announced a change to the training camp schedule. In anticipation of the most severe weather hitting the Triangle on Friday and Saturday, the team has received permission from the NHL to start camp on Thursday afternoon, and will forego one of either the Friday or Saturday practice sessions depending on weather circumstances. The two groups will take the ice at 2:45 pm and 4:00 pm on Thursday.

Fifty players will join the Hurricanes’ 2018 camp, all of whom are under contract to the team except for Josiah Didier, who is on an AHL contract with the Charlotte Checkers, and Michal Cajkovsky, who is in camp on a professional tryout agreement. Thirteen players who were on the roster of the Hurricanes team that finished in sixth place at the Traverse City prospect tournament have been invited to camp. The camp roster also includes eleven players new to the Hurricanes organization who joined via free agency or trade over the summer.

The roster for the camp is listed below, and the updated training camp schedule and training camp groups have been released as well.
