Might Have To Check Out My First Bruins Development Camp This Week/Weekend

Today the Bruins announced the roster for their development camp (June 28-July 2) which starts Thursday morning at Ristuccia Arena in Wilmington, Mass.

Some of the B's most promising prospects will be there, namely defenseman Dougie Hamilton along with forwards Jared Knight and Ryan Spooner. In addition, the players drafted last weekend by Boston get their first taste of professional life here while some local college players are also expected to attend.

Forwards: Darik Angeli, Anthony Camara, Colin Campbell (not the NHL's former disciplinarian), Daniel Carr, Justin Courtnall, Brian Ferlin, Justin Florek, Seth Griffith (draft pick), Colton Hargrove (draft pick), Alex Khokhlachev, Jared Knight, Cody Payne (draft pick), Ben Sexton, Wayne Simpson, Ryan Spooner

Defensemen: Matt Benning (draft pick), Chris Casto, Tommy Cross (BC product), Matthew Grzelcyk (draft pick from Charlestown), Dougie Hamilton (could make the B's this season), Torey Krug (played in 2 games last season), Robbie O’Gara (went to Milton Academy), Zach Trotman

Goaltenders: Zane Gothberg, Parker Milner (went to BC), Adam Morrison (not the basketball player), Malcolm Subban (1st round draft pick), Niklas Svedberg, Lars Volden

Practice schedule (all at Ristuccia Arena, Wilmington, Mass.)

Thursday, June 28
-- On-ice practice, 10:30 a.m. ET

Friday, June 29
-- On-ice practice, 11:00 a.m. ET
-- On-ice power skating, 12:45 p.m. ET

Saturday, June 30
-- On-ice power skating, 10:30 a.m. ET

Monday, July 2

The best part about this is that the practices and scrimmage are free and open to the public so it could be a fun thing to do if the weather is crappy or too hot. Maybe, you have the day off from work. Whatever the reason, if you really love the Bruins you would definitely enjoy seeing some of these guys who no doubt will be on the team in the near future.
