PRESEASON: Mooseheads release training camp roster

Your Halifax Mooseheads released the roster for their 2015-16 training camp today.

The camp roster includes 48 players broken down to 7 goaltenders, 26 forwards and 15 defenceman. It consists of 20 returning players, 24 Mooseheads draftees and a free agent invites. Halifax will be looking for offensive power and some good young blueliners. Unless one of the young goalies impresses quite well, sounds like the Herd will be going with the same tandem they had last season; Eric Brassard and Kevin Resop. With Nikolaj Ehlers likely to make the jump to the pros this year; that leaves a big gap in the scoring department and also opens up an import spot for Otto Somppi who looks to be joining Timo Meier in both those areas left by Ehlers.

Here's the roster:

Ilya Putinsev                    Kelly Bent                     Brett Crossley
Maxime Fortier                Jordan King                  Dominik Blain-Dupuis
