The Dallas Stars open training camp Sept. 14 in Idaho, but the team's top prospects will get a head start on things when they hit the ice beginning Friday at the NHL Prospect Tournament in Traverse City, Michigan.
"It's a good tournament, high-intensity, playoff-like games," said Stars general manager Jim Nill. "They play against similar players, similar age, similar status in their careers. You get a feel for who they are and where they fit in, how they've progressed and developed."
