The club乌鸦传媒檚 returning veterans and rookies took to the ice Sunday at Prospera Place for Day 2 of 乌鸦传媒� main training camp.

After going through the standard pre-camp testing on Saturday, veteran forward Tomas Soustal said it乌鸦传媒檚 good to be on back on the ice and into the swing of a new season.

乌鸦传媒淐amp乌鸦传媒檚 going really good,乌鸦传媒� said Rockets乌鸦传媒� forward Tomas Soustal, 20. 乌鸦传媒淚乌鸦传媒檝e played two scrimmages and practiced once so far. I was a little tired from the 5 K run and all the testing but other than that it乌鸦传媒檚 good so far.

乌鸦传媒淭he legs are definitely feeling better than yesterday from the testing though so we乌鸦传媒檙e making progress there.乌鸦传媒�

Rockets veterans like Soustal get a chance to play with the younger talents in the first portion of main camp before they are returned to their respective midget camps. Soustal says he enjoyed skating with the kids.

乌鸦传媒淚 think the new guys look pretty good. I got a chance to play with a bunch of new guys throughout the scrimmages so far and they definitely have potential and it乌鸦传媒檚 been a lot of fun playing with those guys,乌鸦传媒� Soustal said. 乌鸦传媒淣ow in the afternoon we get to fine tune it and get a little more speed and a little more power to it.乌鸦传媒�

What Soustal is referring to when talking about adding speed and power is that following the morning skates this morning the main camp rosters were trimmed down. Kelowna sent the bantam draft picks from the most recent draft back to their clubs after seeing what they had to offer for a couple of days. The camp will now move forward with two teams.

For a couple of Rockets, main camp is a great form of putting players into game shape for upcoming NHL camps. Devante Stephens is one of those players, as he乌鸦传媒檒l be heading to the Buffalo Sabres camp on Sept. 4.

乌鸦传媒淥ff-ice and on-ice training are a lot different, it乌鸦传媒檚 tough to get into game shape but this really helps get you there,乌鸦传媒� Stephens told. 乌鸦传媒淭his will be my third time at Buffalo乌鸦传媒檚 camp now and it乌鸦传媒檚 a bit more exciting and there乌鸦传媒檚 more on the line for me since I乌鸦传媒檓 20, so I just have to make sure I prove that I乌鸦传媒檓 at the level that I乌鸦传媒檓 supposed to be at.乌鸦传媒�

Main camp runs until Thursday.

The Rockets takes the ice as a team for the first time on Saturday, Sept. 2 when they host the Victoria Royals at Prospera Place at 7:05 p.m.
