A few of the non-roster players from the Washington Capitals rookie tournament team played well enough to get training camp invites, including goaltender Taran Kozun, defenseman Koni Texeira and forwards Miles Koules and Tim McGauley. It should be interesting to see what the Washington Capitals do with those players. They could be auditioning for the Hershey Bears or the South Carolina Stingrays.
Here’s a copy of the schedule for training camp.
