As we near the end of August, training camp season is on the horizon (not before the Women’s World Championships takes centre stage for the next couple weeks). And with training camp comes the always interesting PTO evaluations. PTO stands for Professional Try-Out, and that’s exactly what it is. A chance to come to training camp and earn a contract. Or is it an opportunity for older players to see if they still have it? Or is it for younger players to fill out preseason games?
The answer to those three questions are all yes, to varying degrees.
