Tips off to NHL prospect camps
Published 10:31 am Saturday, July 10, 2010
We’ve reached the point of the summer where NHL teams are holding their prospect camps. Those attending camps who played for the Tips last season include Shane Harper with the Philadelphia Flyers, Radko Gudas with the Tampa Bay Lightning, Kellan Tochkin with the Vancouver Canucks, Rasmus Rissanen with the Carolina Hurricanes, Alex Theriau with the Dallas Stars and Byron Froese and Kent Simpson with the Chicago Blackhawks. Thomas Heemskerk’s San Jose Sharks don’t appear to be conducting a prospects camp at this time.
Harper was an overager last season and has thus used up his junior eligibility. Gudas and Heemskerk are both eligible to return, but as 20-year-olds are expected to play professionally in the minors next season. Everyone else is expected back for next season.
