The Pittsburgh Penguins will report for training camp on Friday, Sept. 16, and will take the ice for the first time on Saturday at CONSOL Energy Center.
Fifty-five players (32 forwards; 18 defensemen; 5 goaltenders) will report and undergo physicals and testing on Friday.
The Penguins’ first two practice dates – Saturday, Sept. 17 and Sunday, Sept. 18 – will be open to the public free of charge at CONSOL Energy Center with free parking available in the CONSOL Energy Center surface lots on a first-come, first-served basis.
Gates will open to the general public at 8:45 a.m. both days. Fans can enter CONSOL Energy Center via the Trib Total Media, American Eagle or Verizon Gates.
As of now, the Penguins have not invited any veterans on tryouts to camp. 2011 first round pick Joe Morrow and 2011 second round pick Scott Harrington are among the notables from the 2011 draft class invited to camp.
