Carolina Hurricanes 2009 1st Round Draft Choice - Phillipe Paradis (photo: www.sbuisson.com)The Carolina Hurricanes will hold their annual Conditioning Camp for young prospects this week at the Rec Zone (912 W. Hodges St) in Raleigh. The camp kicks off tomorrow, Wednesday, July 15th and runs through Saturday, July 18th. On-ice sessions at the Rec Zone start at 4:45pm and are open to the public.
10 prospects will be attending this year, including 2009 1st round draft pick Phillipe Paradis.
Bubba over at Canes Country does a great job (as per usual) of previewing the camp and offering some background on each of the players. Here's a list of this year's attendees:
Phillipe Paradis - F/LW - 2009 1st round pick (27th overall)
Zac Dalphe - F/RW - 2008 2nd round pick (45th overall)
Brian Dumoulin - D - 2009 2nd round pick (51st overall)
Matt Kennedy - F/RW - 2009 5th round choice (131st overall)
Matt Pistilli - F/RW - 2009 free agent signee
Mike Murphy - G - 2008 6th round choice (165th overall)
Kai Kantola - F/C - non-roster collegiate invitee - Bowling Green (grew up in Raleigh, NC)
Beau Schmitz - D - free agent try out
Scott Pitt - F - collegiate invitee - Mercyhurst College
Michael McKenzie - F - free agent tryout (son of TSN analyst Bob McKenzie)
Hopefully I'll be able to make it over on Thursday afternoon. I've never been able to make it to one of these camps, but have always wanted to. Sounds like a fun way to spend an afternoon.
If I'm able to make it, you can be sure I'll be all geeked out to blog about it.
BTW, the Hurricanes will also have their 2nd Annual Summer Fan Fest on Friday evening at the RBC Center. Live music, inflatables, interactive games, free giveaways, mascots, guest speakers from the Hurricanes, discounted concessions and a classic Canes game on the jumbotron. Should be fun for the entire family. Admission and parking are free. Things kick off at 6pm in the RBC Center parking lot.
