Anaheim's top prospects will participate in both on-ice and off-ice workouts at Anaheim ICE throughout the Development Camp, running June 28-July 1 (only the July 1 scrimmage is open to the public). All seven of Anaheim's selections from the 2018 NHL Draft will participate in the camp, including center Isac Lundestrom (first round, 23rd overall), center Benoit-Olivier Groulx (second round, 54th overall), left wing Blake McLaughlin (third round, 79th overall), goaltender Lukas Dostal (third round, 85th overall), right wing Jackson Perbix (fourth round, 116th overall), goaltender Roman Durny (fifth round, 147th overall), and defenseman Hunter Drew (sixth round, 178th overall).

In addition to on-ice skating sessions, each player will receive a personally tailored nutritional recommendation and be tested for strength thresholds, range of movement and aerobic capacity. Away from the rink, players will have opportunities to visit Huntington Beach and other Southern California landmarks.
