The Most Valuable Time of the Year: Why training camp & pre-season are so important

"That's how guys stay in the pros. You have to play night after night, your best hockey. Guys who don't do that end up in the minors. I don't want to speak for anybody else, but I know for me, I want to be consistent and I want to come in every night with the right mindset and play my kind of hockey." - Michael McCarron

Each year, NHL clubs invite rookies and veterans alike to join their annual training camp. This year, the Montreal Canadiens invited 58 players to camp. Of the 58, six were goalies, 19 were defensemen, and the remaining 33 were forwards.
