Spring Training Program Wrap-Up; 20-Man Active Roster Announced

Forward Evan Johnston was added to the 20-Man Active Roster which currently includes 2 goalies, 7 defensemen, and 11 forwards.

Though we are limited to 20 players on the 20-Man Active Roster at any one time, there is no limit to the number of players we can carry on our team as non-rostered players. In addition, the final team roster, for the purposes of the postseason, does not need to be set until December 31st.

Invitations will be given to additional players to attend our July Practice Skates each Monday Evening in July, and our Fall Training Camp the first two weeks of August.

At the conclusion of the Fall Camp we will extend offers to some of these players to join our team. While these players may, or may not, be on the 20-Man Active Roster at the start of the season, they will be on the team and in a great position to compete for active roster status and take advantage of various opportunities to make the 20-Man Active Roster.

Here is our alphabetical list of non-rostered players receiving invitations to attend our July Practice Skates and Fall Training Camp as non-rostered invitees: Players offered these positions must confirm acceptance by e-mail or phone call by Wednesday, June 6th or their spot will be opened up to another player.

Barr, Johnny (confirmed)
#17 Czarnik, Austin* (confirmed)

#6 Gaydayenko, Ivan* (confirmed)
