The Sabres have announced details for their annual development camp, which is set to run from Sunday July 8th through Friday the 13th at First Niagara Center. Workouts will be open to the public on Monday through Wednesday between 10:00-12:30 (all times tentative), while simulated game action will take place with a Blue/Gold scrimmage on Thursday at 6:00 PM.
From the Sabres press release:
The camp will feature approximately 38 Sabres prospects, including the team’s 2012 NHL Draft picks, all of whom are scheduled to participate in the six-day camp. The players will take part in both on-ice and off-ice workouts. The goals of the camp are to show prospective players the fundamental ideas of the Sabres’ playing system and expose them to the conditioning programs of an NHL player. Camp participants will also study and examine NHL rules and the successful techniques a player must possess to become a professional athlete.
In addition to the entire 2011 and 2012 draft classes, three players from 2010, Mark Pysyk, Jerome Gauthier-Leduc, and Kevin Sundher, will also be skating as a prelude to their first pro seasons in Rochester. Nathan Lieuwen, who missed last season's d-camp while recovering from a hernia operation, will be in nets this go round as he prepares for his rookie year.
Three RFAs, T.J. Brennan, Alex Biega, and Drew Schiestel, have paid their entry-level dues and will not participate.
