Training Camp

Has anyone heard anything about the Penguins training camp this year? 

I know it's generally been held at the Mellon Arena for the past few years and at some point in early September. I didn't get a chance to go down last time but I normally do and was wondering what the scoop was for this year? The Mellon is obviously out, as there's no more ice, but would they hold it at the Consol? 

I wouldn't think they'd have it entirely at Southpointe, because it is too small and they have made a nice fan experience out of it & attendance has been good when they did hold it at the Igloo. Or maybe they would go back to that?

In the spirit of hockey season, I leave with this press release prior to the 2005-06 camp -

Hockey-starved fans will see plenty of pucks on the menu this week at Mellon Arena. The Pittsburgh Penguins begin training camp Tuesday and fans, coaches and players alike are eager to experience NHL action return to the ice.

The Penguins feature a revamped lineup that features free-agent additions Mark Recchi, Sergei Gonchar, John LeClair, Ziggy Palffy, Steve Poapst, Andre Roy, Ryan VandenBussche and Lyle Odelein as well as goalie Jocelyn Thibault, who was acquired in a trade, and first-overall draft pick Sidney Crosby.  

Let's Go Pens!

I love how it’s phrased in a “Oh yeah, and Sidney Crosby” sort of way. Probably the only time you’ll ever see Lyle Odelein placed in a sentence before Sid’s name.

Follow the Penguins on SBN @ Pensburgh.com and twitter.

It might be at Consol

considering there’s ice and that the player’s lounge as well as the locker room look like they’re about ready to go.
Oh, and this pic is pretty solid as well.

So when's October you ask? Well, here's your answer.

Just so I never have to answer this again. I'm from Singapore so whenever you see me online, I'm either sleep deprived or just waking up.

That gave me a convulsion. What a dreadful player.

We’re all just waiting for Martin Strbak to come back and take his rightful place in the lineup.

BK – to answer the original question, I haven’t heard anything about the training camp schedule.

Given that ice is in at CONSOL, I would expect them to practice there some. I have no idea if it’ll be open to the public, but I imagine the Southpointe sessions will be.

When I hear something I’ll pass it on, same for anyone else if you jump the gun with some info please post it and we’ll promote to the frontpage.
