ROOKIES TIME TO SHINE

SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA- Fresh sheet of ice at the Herb Brooks Olympia this week, as the Minnesota Norsemen invite twenty of their top prospects to Rookie Camp.

Many of these players will participate in the club's Prospect Camp in July, the main Training Camp in September and be fighting for starting positions on Opening Night.

"We're excited to get things going again," said general manager Blake Wendt. "So much of our future will be together here this week. Some have been playing in Duluth and some are fresh out of college and we get a real thorough look at where they are in their development in becoming CCHL players."

The camp will begin on Monday and go through next Sunday. It will be run by Norsemen assistant coaches Dean McAmmond and Phil Housley and Leifs assistant coaches Mike Ramsey and Dmitri Yushkevich and goaltending coach Felix Potvin. Norsemen head coach Craig Hartsburg, Leifs head coach Mike Yeo and Wendt will evaluate out of sight from high above in the club's suite.
