On Thursday, the Hershey Bears announced the full schedule for their 2019 Training Camp. All of the Bears’ practices will be free and open to the public. The AHL 2019-20 regular season kicks off on October 5th for the Bears, against rivals Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.

During the 2018-19 season, the Hershey Bears went on a historic point streak that led to career seasons for several players. They qualified for the 2019 Calder Cup playoffs after missing them for only the 13th time in their 80-year history during the 2017-18 season, but were ultimately bounced in the second round by the Charlotte Checkers.

With several new additions to the squad, including veteran Matt Moulson, as well as key returning pieces from the Bear’s successful 2018-19 season, they will be looking to recapture that same success and improve on it as they head into the new season.

The full roster for Training Camp will be released at a later date, but the complete schedule for the opening week of 2019 Training Camp is below:
