Updates From 2022 Canes Development Camp

RALEIGH, NC. -For a second consecutive day Carolina Hurricanes prospects were on the ice at Invisalign Arena Tuesday, already bringing the group to the midway point of the 2022 Development Camp.

After officially checking in on Sunday, the
group of 21
has had a healthy balance of education and testing, learning about the organization while also allowing the organization to learn about them.
"The point of the camp is not evaluation, it's more or less just trying to get to know the guys," Canes Forwards Development Coach Sergei Samsonov offered. "Having the guys here, in this brand new facility, seeing what the Carolina Hurricanes are all about and learning what it's like to be a part of the organization is huge for their development."
Monday's efforts included some off-ice fitness testing, prior to the forwards and defenseman undergoing some resistance skating training. While the goaltenders underwent some reactionary drills at the opposite end of the ice, each positional group also took their turn getting some schooling in the kitchen as well.
Tuesday's action started with some more work on the ice before the group moved into the more educational experiences - such as yoga and understanding the importance of nutrition when grocery shopping.
While some of those items may not be atop the thrilling list of activities for 18, 19 and 20-year-olds, the group is enjoying being able to do it with their fellow prospects.
"Last year we didn't get this opportunity," 2021 fourth round selection Jackson Blake spoke with appreciation. "But this is a blast with such a great group of guys. They'll push you and it's just been super fun."
"Some of this is for the guys just to get to know each other," Hurricanes Defensemen Development Coach Peter Harrold provided in addition. "It's been really great to have this after not being able to] the last few years. They're good players and we're really excited for all of them."
The group will culminate the four-day sprint with an off-site team event on Wednesday and then an all-out grind on Thursday.
Thursday morning the group will be back on the ice for one more skills session at 9 a.m., followed by off-ice exercises at 1 p.m., before the camp concludes with a full team three-on-three at 4 p.m. Both the 9 a.m. skills session and 4 p.m. finale will be open to the public for free.
