is finally here! The Hitmen open camp next Wednesday.

Calgary Hitmen General Manager Kelly Kisio announced today the Hitmen will open their 2009 Training Camp on Wednesday, August 26th at the Don Hartman North East Sportsplex (5206-68th Street NE).

The five day camp begins with rookie player registration and fitness testing. Up to 80 prospects are expected to attend with sessions to also include practices and intra-squad games.

The top rookies will then advance to main camp which opens on Friday, August 28th with registration and fitness testing. The first on-ice sessions start the following day.

“Given the graduation of so many veteran players from last season, this training camp should be very competitive,” said Kisio.

All training camp sessions including Sunday’s annual Hitmen Intra-Squad Game are free and open to the public. Rosters will be available at the arena.
All camp times are posted at the Hitmen website.
