Twenty-four players will participate in rookie camp, which begins Sunday, Sept. 12, with a 10:30 a.m. practice and runs through Thursday, Sept. 16, when the rookies face off against the Philadelphia Flyers’ rookies at Kettler Capitals Iceplex (free tickets for that game have already been distributed).
Training camp begins Saturday, Sept. 18, when 42 veterans – 25 of whom saw action for the Capitals last season – will join the rookies to prepare for the upcoming 2010-11 NHL season.

The public is welcome to attend every practice, free of charge, beginning Sunday, Sept. 12.
