PENGUINS PROSPECTS OPEN CAMP

CANONSBURG, PA - The offseason is officially over! The Penguins hit the ice for the first time Wednesday in preparation for the upcoming 2008-09 campaign. Twenty-four Pens prospects went through a battery of physical tests and then laced up the skates at the Iceoplex at Southpointe. That group will face-off against up-and-comers from the Toronto Maple Leafs, Ottawa Senators and Florida Panthers organizations this Saturday, Sunday and Monday in Kitchener, Ontario. The Pens captured the tourney trophy last year, and will be looking to hold on to the treastured chalice.

www.wbspenguins.com will be on hand to cover all of the action from Pittsburgh and Kitchener this week. Download audio clips from head coach Dan Bylsma and forward Luca Caputi talking about the first day of camp, and check out practice video from Wednesday's opening skate.
