In my estimation Phil Myers and Morgan Frost are the two best performers in camp so far. Not a big surprise there. Goalies Sam Ersson – 6-2, 180 – He has good, smooth movements. He was battling the two shooters in drills. He covers the puck up quickly and his glove hand

As always, I will point out some things about the players. Many are shaking off the rust on the first day and I will report on these players again to mark their improvement. Goalies Kirill Ustimenko – 6-3, 179 – G – crouches quite a bit. He’s 6-3 so there’s still
