Red-White scrimmage set for Sunday
RALEIGH, N.C. – The Carolina Hurricanes opened training camp for the upcoming 2013-2014 season on Wednesday by completing physicals and taking team photos, and later announced the groupings of the 48 players invited to camp who will compete for positions on this year’s team.
On-ice sessions will begin on Thursday at PNC Arena and will feature Team Eric (Group A) hitting the ice for the first practice of training camp at 9 a.m., while Team Jordan (Group B) will skate at 12 p.m.
Both groups will skate for three straight days in practice and informal scrimmage sessions before taking to the ice at 1 p.m. on Sunday to compete in a Red-White scrimmage that will give Carolina fans their first glance of game action at PNC Arena.
The scrimmage will be held as part of the Hurricanes’ annual season kick-off event, the Caniac Carnival, that will begin at 10 a.m. and continue until 3 p.m and will feature activities for fans of all ages, both inside and outside of the arena.
Parking and admission to the event are free and open to the public.
