It’s September: the month of training camp, the month of preseason, the month before the Flames – are officially back.
And it’s this training camp, in particular, that will prove of interest for the Flames. Not just because it looks like there are really, truly spots open for prospects to make the roster, but because of the impending trip to China – and the fact that it’ll cause all sorts of unique challenges, from jet lag to groups split over a sizeable chunk of September.
One way teams fill extra roster spots and meet veteran requirements is through the use of professional tryouts.
