Tampa Bay Lightning to hold annual development camp in July

Fans in the Tampa Bay area will get a taste of hockey during the offseason when the Tampa Bay Lightning holds its annual development camp from July 2-6 at the Brandon Ice Sports Forum, the team has announced.

The camp, which is free and open to the public, will feature several draftees of the 2013 class, including Jonathan Drouin, Adam Erne, and Kristers Gudlevskis, who made his NHL during the 2013-14 campaign. Andrey Vasilevskiy, who will also be making his North American professional debut this upcoming season, will be in attendance as well.

Goalie Clay Witt, a Brandon native and an attendee of Northeastern University, is one of three invitees to the development camp. Witt will be the second Florida-born attendee at the annual camp – Cody Bradley, son of Lightning alum Brian Bradley, was an invitee to the camp in 2012. During Witt’s career with Northeastern, he has posted a .930 save percentage and 2.62 goals against average. Other invitees include defenseman Kodie Curran and forward Cam Maclise, both of Alberta, Canada.

During the final two days of the camp, the prospects will compete in a 3-on-3 tournament, which will be streamed live on www.tampabaylightning.com. The full roster and schedule of the 2014 Development Camp can be found below.
