Getting to know the tryouts at Habs training camp
The Montreal Canadiens released their main training camp roster, which included nine players who are invited on a tryout basis.
Whereas the rookie training camp consisted of amateur tryouts (ATO) deals, with players who are still eligible for overage spots in Junior, the main camp is made up of players who have professional hockey experience, primarily in the ECHL and AHL, and as a result signed professional tryout (PTO) contracts.
The only player still under an ATO at the main camp is Giovenne Fiore, who was discussed previously.
It’s worth noting that with several players still at the World Cup, extra bodies were necessary for camp.
