With Tampa Bay Lightning training camp starting in the morning at the Amalie in downtown Tampa, one thing remained unclear: The schedule of events during camp, lie where and when practices and scrimmages will be held and when they’ll be made open to the public, as most long time Lightning fans know practices at the big arena are not usually open to the public except on special occasions.
Below you’ll find the complete schedule for camp (subject to change, cuz circumstances could always require it) which includes a couple of days in southwest Florida at Germain Arena in Estero.
The 64 players in camp will be divided up into groups, it’s unclear at this point who is in which group. Not including September 30 – October 2nd, all practices are at Amalie Arena unless otherwise marked.
