We’re just days away from the brief but oh-so-welcome return of hockey to the DC area, as Caps prospects will descend on Kettler Capitals Iceplex starting Monday for the Capitals 2010 Development Camp.
Per the team:
Twenty-three Washington Capitals prospects, including all five selections from last month’s NHL Draft, will participate in the team’s annual development camp from July 12-17 at Kettler Capitals Iceplex in Arlington, Va. The camp, which features recent Capitals draft picks, select rookie players and other prospects, includes on- and off-ice workouts led by head coach Bruce Boudreau and his staff.
