The Flyers will officially make their return to the ice for the start of training camp in just over one week.
Training camp for the 2016-17 season opens on Friday, Sept. 23 at Flyers Skate Zone in Voorhees, the team announced on Thursday.
64 players will be participating in training camp as they push to earn a spot on the Flyers roster entering the season.
Players will be split into two groups for the opening weekend of camp. On Friday and Saturday, one group will skate from 9:45 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and the other group will skate from 1:15 p.m. to 3 p.m. Both groups will skate on Sunday from 10:20-10:50 a.m. before participating in a scrimmage from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m.
All on-ice sessions during camp are free and open to the public.
Following the weekend's training camp, the team will open the preseason on Sept. 26 with split-squad games against the Devils and Islanders, both on the road.
The Flyers training camp roster is as follows:
Forwards (37): Nicolas Aube-Kubel, Cole Bardreau, Pierre-Edouard Bellemare, Connor Bunnaman, Greg Carey, Chris Conner, Nick Cousins, Sean Couturier, Samuel Dove-McFalls, Radel Fazleev, Claude Giroux, Boyd Gordon, Tyrell Goulbourne, Corban Knight, Travis Konecny, Pascal Laberge, Scott Laughton, Taylor Leier, Roman Lyubimov, Danick Martel, Chris McCarthy, Colin McDonald, Andy Miele, Michael Raffl, Matt Read, Anthony Salinitri, Brayden Schenn, Wayne Simmonds, Petr Straka, Kevin Sundher, Steven Swavely, Carsen Twarynski, Chris VandeVelde, Jake Voracek, Jordan Weal, Dale Weise, Mark Zengerle
