Carolina Hurricanes announce roster and schedule for preseason training camp

The Carolina Hurricanes will open preseason training camp with 47 skaters and six goalies, the team announced Tuesday.

The Canes released their camp roster and schedule, with the on-ice sessions set to begin Thursday at 9 a.m. at PNC Arena. The players will have team testing and physicals on Wednesday.

The roster will be split into two groups for the start of camp — Teams C1 and C2. The sessions will be held both at PNC Arena and Invisalign Arena, the team’s practice facility in Morrisville.

One player not listed on the camp roster is defenseman Jake Gardiner, who missed last season after surgery on his hip and back.

The Hurricanes, who won the Metropolitan Division last season, open their preseason schedule Tuesday, Sept. 27, against Tampa Bay at PNC Arena.

Carolina has six preseason exhibition games before the season opener Oct. 12 against Columbus at home.
