The Flyers have officially released information in regards to Training Camp that will begin on Thursday September 22 at 830am sharp. Here is the schedule below:
The Flyers have released their training camp schedule, and a total of 71 players are currently scheduled to attend training camp that consists of 41 forwards, 22 defensemen, and eight goaltenders.
The Flyers will have five players at camp on professional try-outs (PTO): Artem Anisimov, Nolan Maier, Pat Nagle (Signed with the Phantoms), Antoine Roussel, and Tyler Wall.
Maier won the battle between him and Jonathan Lemieux. I did state one of them would be at training camp when it began.
Here is the official roster:
Sean Couturier
Unfortunately, I can confirm that Sean Couturier is injured again, this time it’s his back, not that Anthony SanFilippo needs vindication of such as he was the first reporter to give this information. This is devastating news for Coots who said he was happy he was fully healthy. The Flyers are cursed.
“We don’t seem to have on paper that big superstar or big name guy, but I think as a team we can come together and do some damage. Prove everyone wrong.” – Sean Couturier said last week
Couturier has a herniated disc in his back, according to SanFilippo, and unfortunately it could cost him a few months.
The Flyers statement on Sean Couturier:
“He has an upper-body injury and will be re-evaluated during training camp. He is considered week-to-week.”
The season hasn’t begun, but this is sad news for the Flyers already, and they are already fighting an uphill battle for relevancy once again.
