Hockey will be starting very soon. 

The Halifax Mooseheads have announced that their 2023 training camp will begin on August 19 when players arrive to the city for physicals and registration at RBC Centre. A total of 49 players are set to attend camp this year including the 2022-23 leading scorer Jordan Dumais, Halifax's top draft selection in June's Q draft Liam Kilfoil and 2023 import pick Yannik Ponzetto. 

You can find the schedule for the first 2 weeks by looking here. Like previous years, practices and intrasquad games held at the RBC Centre will be open to the public for free. Tickets for the pre-season games are on sale now and can be bought on the new Mooseheads TicketMaster page.

A few notes about the roster

• The roster consists of 27 forwards, 16 defencemen and six goalies while there are 17 returning players 
• You will notice that a few players who are still eligible are not listed; last season's captain Attilio Biasca has decided to return home to play professionally with EV Zug, Zach L'Heureux seems to be on his way to suit up for the Milwaukee Admirals and Cam Whynot was released (not sure why) 
• Unless Cam Russell and co. make moves before the season begins, it looks like the overagers will be Brody Fournier, Brady James and David Moravec while the Euro spots belong to Moravec and Yannik Ponzetto

First cuts are normally made before the first pre-season game with the final roster generally announced by the end of August, we'll have to wait and see if this holds true again this year.
