A major stepping stone in the career of any NHL hopeful, the four-day camp is meant to expose prospects to many of the rigorous conditioning programs of a professional hockey player, including both on and off-ice workout sessions.
"I'm really excited," said Owen Tippet, the Panthers first-round selection at this past weekend's draft in Chicago. "I've never been to Florida, so it's exciting to finally get there… I'm excited to meet all the other guys."
The best thing about development camp? You're invited!
All on-ice workouts throughout the week are free and open to the public, so make sure to come out to the rink to catch a glimpse of the future. Also, if you're lucky, you might even be able to score a few autographs or snap a couple memorable photos.
