All on ice sessions are free and open to the public. Capitals Development Camp is an annual, week long summer session with on and off ice workouts that are designed to help Capitals prospects improve their games and allow the Capitals to evaluate their progress.

The attendees include Capitals prospects that are under contract and recent Caps draft picks that haven’t been signed yet. There are also several undrafted and free agent amateur players that will be in attendance.

All seven selections from the Capitals 2022 NHL Draft class will attend this year’s Development Camp. Ivan Miroshnichenko will absorb it all in even though he won’t participate in the on ice sessions. We’ll also get to see Hendrix Lapierre who in my opinion is the number one prospect right now.
