Belleville - August 22, 2013 - With summer winding down, it's time to start thinking about hockey again. The Belleville Bulls are getting geared up for another Training Camp as Head Coach George Burnett and his staff prepare to replenish a roster that has seen some solid players move on to the next level.
"This is going to be the biggest camp we've had in Belleville during my time here," said Burnett Thursday. "There's a lot of opportunity out there for some eager young players and we're really looking forward to seeing what they have to show over the next month or so."
The Bulls will have a total of 54 players in camp next week, including eleven free agent invitees and fourteen players returning from last year's squad.
"There are some question marks regarding our roster coming into camp this year," Burnett continued. "We have some guys going to NHL camps and we aren't sure when or if some of them will return. That scenario just presents new opportunities for our draft picks and free agent invites to make a case for themselves."
Returning Bulls Brendan Gaunce (Vancouver), Jordan Subban (Vancouver), Alan Quine (NY Islanders), Brady Austin (Buffalo) and Scott Simmonds (Pittsburgh)will be giving it their best shot at the pro level this fall.
This year's Training Camp roster features 30 forwards, 19 defencemen and 5 goaltenders in attendance. You can see the complete roster by visiting www.bellevillebulls.com/trainingcamp.
