The Detroit Red Wings’ 2025 Summer Development Camp will end with a 4-on-4 game which will take place tomorrow at 10 AM, to be streamed on DetroitRedWings.com. The Detroit News’s Ted Kulfan spoke with goaltender Rudy Guimond and forward Grayden Robinson-Palmer, who held media availabilities today, regarding their experiences at camp:
“I came in with the expectation to learn from the coaches and management staff, but also to learn from these amazing players that are here with me,” said Robertson-Palmer, a center who has gotten skating tips from Daniel Cleary. “I’ve gotten that opportunity. It’s been a lot of fun. I like it.”
Robertson-Palmer is joined at this camp by goaltender Rudy Guimond (2023 sixth round). The two Wings draft picks will be teammates in junior hockey in Moncton next season.
“I met him here for the first time and he seems a great guy,” Robertson-Palmer said. “I’m kind of excited to have that older mentor there who is familiar with Detroit. He’ll be a 20-year-old, overage (player). He’s a goalie but he can help me with advice, how to train or how to become a pro.”
Robertson-Palmer is excited to play under Moncton coach Gardiner MacDougall, who led Moncton to a QMJHL championship and was named junior coach of the year in the Canadian Hockey League.
“He’s an interesting guy,” said Guimond, who was 16-0-0 in the regular season with a .940 save percentage. “The big thing is he tailors his way of doing things toward the person that you are, so he gets the best out of all his guys. That’s really impressive.”
