"Over the tournament’s history, 756 players have moved on to play in at least one NHL game, including 20 who played for the Red Wings in 2022-23," said the news release. Some of these players include Jonatan Berggren, Tyler Bertuzzi, Ben Chiarot (Atlanta), Ville Husso (St. Louis), and Dylan Larkin. They all participated in this tournament earlier in their careers.
To begin their annual NHL Training Camp, the Red Wings will kick off with the 2023 Training Camp Golf Classic. This event is scheduled for September 20 and will take place at the Traverse City Country Club. The proceeds from this golf tournament will go to a non-profit organization that offers affordable skating programs in Northern Michigan.
The 2023-24 Red Wings are scheduled to begin their Training Camp on September 21 and will continue daily until September 25. Throughout the camp, the Red Wings’ players, prospects, and tryouts will be divided into teams. The teams will engage in practice sessions and scrimmage matches. One of the camp highlights will be the annual Red and White Game, set on September 24. Following this game, the team will stay in Traverse City for a practice session on September 25 before heading to Detroit to initiate their preseason schedule. The complete training camp schedule and a detailed camp roster will be unveiled later.
