It wasn't long ago that the Boston Bruins had their season come to a close with a crushing Game 7 loss to the Washington Capitals.
But before long, Wilmington hockey fans will have the chance to take the first step forward in getting ready for next season.
The team announced on Thursday the dates for its upcoming Development Camp, which will open with an on-ice practice on Thursday, June 28. The camp, held at Ristuccia Arena, lasts until Monday, July 2.
Below is the schedule for this year's camp:
Thursday, June 28
- On-ice practice begins at 10:30 a.m.
Friday, June 29
- On-ice practice begins at 11 a.m.
- Power skating drills take place at 12:45 p.m.
Saturday, June 30
- Power skating begins at 10:30 a.m.
- Regular practice begins on ice at 11:45 a.m.
Sunday, July 1
- A practice and scrimmage begins at 11 a.m.
Monday, July 2

Matt,have the Bruins announced their interest in a shared development with Wilmington for a combined training facility and ice arena if the new school is constructed on an alternate site?

I understand that the Bruins practice in the A.M. A shared facility would leave the afternoon open for high school hockey practices and games. The alternate site would be closer to highway access. A brand new facility would give them the chance to design their workout facility the way they want. It would not only save the town money but would also give the town a revenue generating source. It may even get some of our players looked at by scouts if the hockey program continues to grow and thrive.
