Blue Jackets Training Camp Tracker

TRAINING CAMP STARTS TODAY!

All caps, exclamation point…cheesy, yes, but I am damned excited.

This post will be pinned to the cover of the site for the duration of camp. I’ll update it as cuts are made, as the coaches whittle the players down to what will be the opening night roster for the Blue Jackets.

In addition to the players under contract with the Jackets and their unsigned prospects, five players have been invited to camp- four forwards and a blueliner. Up front, Alex Aleardi, Jeremy Langlois and Trent Vogelhuber recently took part in the Traverse City prospect tournament, and all three are currently Springfield Falcons property. The fourth invitee forward is interesting. Broc Little, also Falcons property, played the past two seasons in Sweden, racking up a ton of points. He’s undersized, but worth keeping an eye on. He’ll be looked to for offense in Springfield this year. The lone defense invite is Joe Lavin, who spent the past two seasons with Rockford of the AHL. He was also signed by the Falcons this summer to an AHL deal.

Two players are currently injured- Nathan Horton and Dalton Prout.

We’ll have more content in the coming days giving our thoughts on potential training camp battles, but I’ll say this much for now- I’ve got my eyes locked on the progress of Boone Jenner. With a great camp, he could force his way into the opening night lineup.
