Gone Camping....
As everyone already knows the Pats start their 2016 Training Camp Saturday at the Co-operators Centre, and this is my first of many posts for the new season.
A couple of interesting battles should be happening this weekend in which I'll touch on later this weekend..... I'm looking forward to seeing Lockner, Leedahl, Ahl and Henry.... as well as all of the Bantam draft players to see how much they have grown and improved since spring camp...... I hope all of the veterans and rookie call-up returnees have a great camp and give the Pats brass fits trying to make the squad for the 2016-17 season. I'm just happy hockey is back and I can't wait until the first ice time.
The Pats Training Camp Roster (courtesy Phil Andrews)....
I have sorted the roster into listed positions and by ages (oldest to youngest). This is by no means a depth chart.
