Hockey is about three-and-a-half weeks away, as the San Jose Sharks announced today they will open training camp on Friday, September 15 at their practice facility, Solar4America Ice. The first on-ice session will take place at 9:30 A.M. on that day, with the roster once again split into two groups. That session, and others, will also be open to the general public.
That’s eight days earlier than last season, as there’s no World Cup of Hockey to work around this fall. Rookies will report even earlier, beginning rookie camp at noon on September 7. San Jose’s rookies will play against rookies representing the Colorado Avalanche, Anaheim Ducks, and Arizona Coyotes in games as part of the 2017 Prospect Showcase.
