The players will be taking a break from the ice and heading over to the beach in Stone Harbor, NJ on Monday, July 14 during the annual Trial on the Isle for team-bonding and exercises. An autograph session for the fans, a youth-hockey clinic, and a charity volleyball game will also highlight the day.

The camp’s first on-ice session is scheduled for 2:15 PM on Thursday, July 10. The weekend schedule features two on-ice sessions per day, with morning sessions running from 9 AM to 11:45 AM Friday through Sunday and afternoon sessions beginning at 3:15 on Friday, 3:30 on Saturday and 4:30 on Sunday.
