The last Hartford Wolf Pack training camp opens today at Champions Skating Center in Cromwell, CT. As most of you are sure to know by now, the team will be renamed the Connecticut Whale likely sometime around Thanksgiving.
It’s safe to assume that the great percentage of the people there are rookies that were signed specifically to the Pack and a lot of folks that will be finding their way to Greenville. We’ll get a roster for you as soon as it’s available.
