It’s almost here folks. Hockey is finally around the corner!  Next Thursday is Day One of Anaheim’s Prospect Camp at the Anaheim Ice facility. It will be the unofficial kick-off of Anaheim Ducks hockey for the 2018-19 season.

The Anaheim Ducks have invited a group of seventeen forwards, eight Defensemen, and three goaltenders. Day one starts Thursday, September 5, at 1:30 p.m. PDT and day two on Friday at 10 a.m PST. The rookies will then head to Vegas over the weekend to play in a three-game-tournament versus prospects from Vegas, Colorado, Los Angeles, and Arizona. Here are a few items to keep an eye on as camp opens.

The Return of Tyler Soy

The forward group invited to camp is a pretty star-studded list of all the Anaheim Ducks highly coveted prospects. Guys like Troy Terry, Sam Steel, Maxime Comtois, Giovanni Fiore, etc. The list goes on. One notable name on this list is Tyler Soy. Soy went unsigned this offseason, making him a free agent. Vancouver and Florida both invited the 21-year-old center into their respective development camps this summer as well. It’s nice to see Anaheim give Soy another shot.

He had an amazing career with the WHL’s Victoria Royals and is arguably one of the greatest players in their franchise’s history, setting multiple records along the way. Hopefully, Soy can stand out enough to prove his worth, but best of luck to the kid wherever he may wind up.
