Tampa Bay Lightning’s top prospects have hit the ice and they’re already prepared for when their names are called.
“Obviously, it’s a big week. I’m just coming in here trying to get my toes a little wet and see what we can do here and take in all the knowledge with all the great people here,” Lightning prospect Conor Geekie said.
“I know what to expect, so obviously, I felt more comfortable and more confident coming into this year, but the expectations are the same. I want to be here to learn,” prospect Ethan Gauthier said.
The Lightning revealed the roster for their 2024 Development Camp, with on-ice workouts kicking off early this week. The camp will conclude with the annual 3-on-3 tournament on Thursday and Friday.
