Note: The Jets were off on Monday but made plenty of noise as they cut their roster by 11. This leaves them with 28 players in camp (a few of whom are injured), most of whom will hit the ice for day 13 of training camp at 11 AM out at the IcePlex. Get updates here.
Note II: The Moose had a busy first day of their training camp which got underway yesterday as it began with the team announcing they had signed four players to tryout agreements. This was followed by the announcement of the full 21 man roster for Monday. In addition they took to the ice which was followed by a media availability which you can watch here. They hit the ice (with a bunch of new players) today at 10:30 AM out at the IcePlex.
