Flyers bringing 65 players to camp

Posted: September 16, 2010

The Flyers open training camp Friday, and 65 players are scheduled to report to the Skate Zone in Voorhees.

"We'll go zone by zone each day and [practice] everything that we started last year and finished with," Flyers coach Peter Laviolette said Wednesday. "We'll reteach and teach the new players and try to get everybody on the same page."

No practices will be open to the public on Friday as players are scheduled to take physicals. But the defending Eastern Conference champions will unveil their new road jerseys to fans at 3 p.m. Friday, and a public skate will be held at 4.

All players are set to hit the ice for practice on Saturday, and all practices and scrimmages at the Skate Zone are open to the public.
