Islanders Training Camp Opens August 17 at Simmons Sports Centre

Charlottetown Islanders News Release


CHARLOTTETOWN, PE - The offseason is officially over.

Training Camp Presented by ADL

With a wave of fresh faces, a fierce internal competition, and plenty of returning talent ready to level up, the Charlottetown Islanders open 2025 Training Camp on August 17 at Simmons Sports Centre.

"We're really excited to get this year's camp going. With the mix of returning players, new draft picks, and some key additions, this is one of the deeper groups we've brought into camp in recent years. There's a lot of talent on the ice, and we're looking forward to seeing how it all comes together over the coming weeks." - Jim Hulton, Head Coach & General Manager

This year's camp promises intensity, competition, and an early look at what could be one of the most exciting Islanders rosters in recent years. With returning talent, promising rookies, and new additions, the stage is set for a high-stakes battle for roster spots.

One of the highlights of camp each year is the battle for the Cusson Cup, awarded to the winner of the annual Black vs. White inter-squad series. Played in memory of longtime Islanders supporter Al Cusson, these games are far more than just scrimmages - they're high-intensity, competitive matchups that offer players a real chance to separate themselves in the eyes of the coaching staff. With roster spots *and a trophy* on the line, the pace and physicality are always high. Fans are invited to watch all three games on August 18 and 19 at Simmons Sports Centre in Charlottetown, and catch a glimpse of who's ready to take the next step in an Islanders jersey.
