| GLENS FALLS, NY –
The Philadelphia Flyers, including all the future
Adirondack Phantoms players, will open their camp
Friday, September 17 at the team's training facility
in Voorhees, NJ. It's a crowded field trying to
make the Flyers and Phantoms rosters with a total
of 65 players competing. The opening of Flyers training
camp comes on the heels of the conclusion of the
team's rookie camp earlier this week.
17 of last year's Phantoms are among those at the
camp as well as other newcomers who will be skating
for the Phantoms or in professional hockey for the
first time.
The camp begins with player physicals on Friday

Many of the Phantoms players will see some ice-time
in the Flyers busy preseason schedule which begins
Tuesday, September 21 when Philadelphia hosts the
