If you were feeling down about hockey season still being about a month away, this should cheer you up! Flyers training camp is finally upon us, starting just over a week from now on Friday, September 15.
The Flyers as always will lace up the skates at the Skate Zone in Voorhees for the essential start of the 2017-2018 season. 61 players are set to take the ice for camp including the number two overall pick in this summer’s draft, Nolan Patrick. This will be the first time Patrick hits the ice as a Flyer after recovering from surgery required before the draft.
If you were wondering because I’m sure you were, Patrick will be wearing number 64. Let the outrage ensue!
For the first two days of camp, Group 1 will be on the ice from 9:45-11:30, then Group 2 skates from 1:15-3:00.
In addition to training camp, rookie camp will be held from September 11-13 culminating in the rookie game vs. the Islanders at the Wells Fargo Center.
