The Washington Capitals' 2007 Training Camp will open Friday, Sept. 14, at Kettler Capitals Iceplex in Arlington, Va. A group of the team's young players and prospects will take part in Rookie Camp the week prior to the start of Training Camp, with those workouts beginning Saturday, Sept. 8.

This marks the Capitals' first Training Camp at the new Kettler Capitals Iceplex, the Metro-accessible, inside-the-Beltway practice facility that features two NHL-sized rinks. All on-ice sessions at Rookie Camp and Training Camp -- like every Capitals practice at Kettler Capitals Iceplex -- will be open to the public and free of charge.

Several special events and promotions will be featured throughout Training Camp. A full schedule of those events, practice times and rosters for both camps will be released in the coming weeks.

The team's Rookie Camp -- a new addition this season -- will feature approximately two dozen of the team's young players and prospects, primarily first-year professionals.
