- Rookie Camp opened yesterday, and here are some highlights of the coverage:
- The news of the day was that Joe Finley left with a lower-body injury (Herbie-itis?) and Stefan Della Rovere was held off the ice after getting his bell rung in a game last week.

- Notes and photos of the day from Peerless and OFB andpics from TTT Hockey, Caps in Pictures (times two) and sk84fun_dc.
