Development Camp Updates

PANTHERS CAMP CLOSES
Florida Panthers Development Camp came to a close today.

“Last day was great,” tweeted Sea Dogs forward Jonathan Huberdeau today. “Had the chance to play with the boys! Team B won!!.. Thanks for the week #FlaPanthersfans we appreciate the crowd!”

Huberdeau and fellow Panthers prospect Rocco Grimaldi have become quite popular on Twitter because of their constant chirping at each other over the past week.

“I have to say that @JonnyHuby11 has very good English,” tweeted Grimaldi today. “Hes a great guy. I love the kid. A great week of chirping is over.”

"I like this guy. He's small, but really quick, creative and has a good shot,'' Huberdeau said to the Florida Sun-Sentinel. "He has a great future.''

Grimaldi was selected by the Panthers in the second round of June’s NHL Draft.

WILD STUFF TOMORROW
After a week of practicing and workouts, the Minnesota Wild prospects at Development Camp will play scrimmage matches on both Saturday and Sunday at the Xcel Energy Centre.

Both scrimmages begin at 11:00 am local time. On Saturday, fans in attendance will get a Devon Setoguchi t-shirt and on Sunday a Danny Heatley t-shirt. Fun stuff.
