Get To Know The Flyers Rookie Camp Invitees

The Flyers will be back this weekend when 29 players hit the ice for the team’s annual development camp. The roster features players from as far back as the 2016 NHL Draft, though the only one from there is Wade Allison. Four of the prospects drafted this past summer will also be in attendance.

Along with the 24 players who are, in same way or another, a part of the Flyers organization, five players will have a chance to earn themselves a contract with the team. They’ll be attending the development camp via an invite. While he is no longer with the team, that is how Phil Myers found himself on the Flyers roster. He came to the team’s main camp after being un-drafted and without an invite from the Flames after their development camp.

Egor Zamula was invited to the team’s training camp back in 2018. He was also able to use that opportunity to garner a contract from the team. So there is a possibility for at least one of two of the five invited players to find themselves invited back for main camp. And from there the notion of a contract could follow.

So out of the five players who will be invited this weekend, three of them are forwards while the other two are defensemen. Three of them hail from the WHL while the two others comes from the OHL.
