The final roster for the development camp has yet to be released, but typically includes most, if not all of the draft selections from the 2023 NHL Entry Draft.

It also looks like prospects that played for the Hershey Bears will also be in attendance.

Sources say Hendrix Lapierre will be attending next weeks #ALLCAPS development camp. A bit surprised any Bears will be participating, but it sounds like it will be more of a “check in” than serious development camp.

There was some question as to whether the Bears extended postseason run would preclude certain prospects from participating in this years development camp.
