Flyers and Phantoms to Start Training Camps
Published on September 15, 2011 under American Hockey League (AHL)
Adirondack Phantoms News Release
The Philadelphia Flyers officially begin their Training Camp this Saturday at their facility at the Virtua SkateZone in Voorhees, NJ. 65 players are expected to take part in the camp including possible Adirondack Phantoms players for the 2011-12 team.
Players from last year's Phantoms squad such as Eric Wellwood, Mike Testwuide, Ben Holmstrom, Erik Gustafsson, Matt Read, Jon Kalinski, Tom Sestito and Zac Rinaldo among others enter camp with intentions of grabbing one of the coveted roster spots with the NHL club and will perhaps get the opportunity to further prove their worth in the Flyers preseason games which begin Tuesday, September 20 at Toronto.
As the Flyers continue their preseason schedule, some of the players will begin to make their way up to Glens Falls on Sunday, September 25 and Monday, September 26. The first practice for the Phantoms is scheduled for 1-3 PM on Monday, September 26 at the Glens Falls Civic Center and will be followed by sessions at 10:00 AM each day for the rest of the week.
All Phantoms practices are free and open to the public. It is a great opportunity for area fans to get an early look at the team as they prepare for the season. The ice at the Glens Falls Civic Center is being put down this weekend and will be set by early next week.
All Flyers Preseason Games featuring many of our Adirondack Phantoms will be carried live on www.philadelphiaflyers.com
