Here is all of the information you need to know about the 2022 Development Camp (via Detroit Red Wings).
The camp will be split into two teams, Team Howe and Team Lindsay, and will feature daily on-ice instruction and skill development from a team of coaches, led by the Red Wings player development staff. Attendees will also take part in NHL-level off-ice workouts and attend presentations designed to help players transition to professional hockey, while experiencing the state-of-the-art player amenities offered at Little Caesars Arena and receiving feedback from Red Wings coaches and management.
The Red Wings roster will be comprised primarily of players selected by Detroit over the last several NHL Drafts, as well as signed free agent prospects and undrafted free agent invitees from collegiate, junior or European leagues. The Red Wings 2021-22 roster consisted of 13 players who had participated in at least one Development Camp since 2016: Tyler Bertuzzi, Kyle Criscuolo, Taro Hirose, Filip Hronek, Dylan Larkin, Gustav Lindstrom, Chase Pearson, Michael Rasmussen, Dan Renouf, Moritz Seider, Givani Smith, Joe Veleno and Filip Zadina.
