Per the Traverse City Record-Eagle, here’s what happens next for the Red Wings and their prospects as the two-week odyssey in Traverse City continues:
With the NHL Prospects Tournament now in the rearview mirror and Red Wings Training Camp right on the horizon, the Detroit prospects will stay in Traverse City and visit Blair Elementary School on Monday from 10:40 a.m.-12:10 p.m. to run a hockey clinic for students in the school’s gymnasium.
The Red Wings’s roster of prospects, which includes recent draft picks, free-agent signees and tryouts, will introduce elementary students to the basic elements of hockey through hands-on instruction with multiple rotating stations. The Red Wings will also gift the school with several sets of equipment to encourage students to continue playing hockey while supporting an active and healthy lifestyle.
The Red Wings then hit the ice back at Centre Ice Arena for the first time for training camp on Thursday morning and continue daily sessions through Sept. 25.
Red Wings players, prospects and tryouts will be divided into teams that will practice and scrimmage throughout camp, including the annual Red and White Game on Sunday. Following the Red and White game, the team will remain in Traverse City and hold practice on Monday, Sept. 25, prior to breaking camp for Detroit to begin its preseason schedule.
