Rookie Camp Update

The Philadelphia Inquirer today reported that the Flyers have invited all of their young prospects to the SkateZone in Voorhees for a four-day camp starting next week. This one is official; no more informal scrimmage stuff. According to the report, the camp will end in Virginia with a game against the Washington Capitals rookies on Thursday. You can see who will be attending in the story, and I can almost guarantee that this will be Claude Giroux's last rookie camp before heading up to the senior team. Ryan Parent, Tim Ramholt, and Steve Downie should also be with the Flyers on opening night, though it may be tough for Downie to get a lot of ice time unless John Stevens needs an extra agitator for certain opponents. The camp is open to the public, so I'm definitely going to find some way of sneaking down to South Jersey during the afternoon to check out the young kids.
