Not only will the Washington Capitals be turning its focus to free agency on July 1, but it will also host the first day of its annual Development Camp, Saturday.
While we don’t know the full roster yet, super-talented 2022 first-round pick, Ivan Miroshnichenko, is in DC while several 2023 Calder Cup champion Bears players could be at camp, too.
Wednesday, the Capitals released the schedule for camp. The practices, which are open to the public except on Independence Day, will be held from July 1 through July 5 at MedStar Capitals Iceplex, ending with a three-on-three tournament.
