The Lighting will be hosting another tryout camp on Saturday, September 24 at the Patriots Gateway Center. Coach Chris Daleo will be looking for more hardworking talent to add to the Lightning bench this season. Drills will be formed in the morning with scrimmages taking place in the afternoon. The Lightning Coaching Staff will be taking a look at all of the talent to see who might be able to contribute to the continuing success of the Lightning.
