The Tampa Bay Lightning today announced the roster and schedule for the team’s 2010 Training Camp, presented by floridacentral Credit Union, which begins with off-ice testing Friday, September 17 at the St. Pete Times Forum.
The team will split into four groups for off-ice testing on Friday before being consolidated to two groups for practices and scrimmages on Saturday and Sunday at the Brandon Ice Sports Forum. Practice and scrimmage teams will be announced at a later date. The team will participate solely in practices beginning Monday, September 20. The team will travel day-of to Dallas on Tuesday, September 21 to play their first game of the 2010 preseason. All on-ice sessions in Brandon are open to the public.
Of the 54 players attending camp, there are 32 forwards, 17 defensemen and five goaltenders. Returning faces include captain Vincent Lecavalier, Steven Stamkos, Martin St. Louis, Ryan Malone as well as the return of defenseman Pavel Kubina, a member of the Bolts’ 2004 Stanley Cup Championship team. New players making their Lightning debut include former two-time 40-goal scorer Simon Gagne, defenseman Brett Clark and goaltender Dan Ellis.
Highlights of Training Camp include Head Coach Guy Boucher leading an open practice each day from 10-11 a.m., with an intra-squad scrimmage following until noon. Fans will also be provided with the opportunity to receive autographs from Lightning alumni and special discounts on food and beverages.
In addition, there will be a live radio broadcast on Saturday from 10-noon which will air on 620 WDAE. The Lightning will also conduct a free youth hockey clinic at 2 p.m. on each day, facilitated by former Lightning forward John Tucker. Those interested in signing up may call the Brandon Ice Sports Forum at 813.684.7825 to register.
Any fan making a season ticket purchase for the 2010-11 season will receive a complimentary Family Four Pack towards an open skate session and skate rental. All fans will receive an exclusive chance to win a free game of laser tag with the Bolt Brigade.
Fans are encouraged to arrive early for both sessions, as the first 250 individuals in attendance each day will receive a free Tampa Bay Lightning “All In” t-shirt.
