This year’s camp will be at the Baptist Health IcePlex, the same location where the team held its 2026 Draft Party on Friday, which featured conversations with Bill Zato and Aaron Ekblad, as well as a surprise appearance by head coach Paul Maurice.
Prospects are coming in from all over the world to participate in the camp, including Canada, Russia, Sweden, and Finland, as well as skaters from across the United States. They bring in experience from the AHL, NCAA, SHL, OHL, WHL, and KHL.
Here's a breakdown of Panthers drafted prospects coming:
Class of 2025: Mads Kongsbak Klyvø, Shea Busch, Shamar Moses, Arvid Drott, Brendan Dunphy
Class of 2024: Linus Eriksson, Matvei Shuravin, Simon Zether, Denis, Gabdrakhmanov
Class of 2023: Albert Wikman, Olof Glifford, Luke Coughlin
Interestingly, only one skater, defenseman Coughlin, is listed under six feet, at 5-foot-10, while netminder Denault stands almost a foot taller at 6-foot-8, with seven listed at 6-foot-3 or taller.
Among the invitees to the Panthers camp are several undrafted prospects, including 20-year-old Providence College goalie Ben Hrebik. He’ll be joined by 20-year-old defenseman James Mackey, another undrafted prospect who just played at Harvard in the NCAA.
The oldest skaters in the camp will be Panthers’ 2021 fourth-round pick Vladislav Lukashevich, who is 23. He’ll be joined by undrafted Reegan Hiscock, who is 21 and recently played college hockey at Cornell University.
Meanwhile, the only other non-Panthers’ draft pick in attendance will be Emil Pieninemi, who is also 21 and just joined the organization via a trade with the Pittsburgh Penguins on June 12.
Fans interested in attending the Development Camp can do so by dropping by the Baptist Health IcePlex, since the ice times are free and open to the public.
