Main Camp Day 1

Day 1 of Express Main Tryout Camp is in the books. It's been a long day, so I'm going to keep this brief.

- University of Minnesota recruit and USHL veteran Jake Youso is in camp. In fact he was playing on the same line as Express veteran Chris Bournazos and fellow draft pick Blake Matejcek.

- Other Express veterans in attendance are Brian McGinty, Nick Carson, and Grant Fahnhorst.

- Draft picks in attendance in addition to Youso and Matejcek are John Haeg, Andy Miller, and Ben Montgomery.

- Former Express defenseman Tim Kirby's brother John is playing on the Black team. Former Express forward Matt Lipinski's brother Sean is playing on the Green Team.

- Mankato West and Rochester Ice Hawk alum Ricky Litchfield is playing on the Gold Team, and looks to be having a good camp thus far.


I'll have plenty more to say on this later. Saturday's agenda includes a pair of games in the morning, starting at 10:00am, followed by a round of cuts to get down to a pair of all-star teams who will face off Saturday evening.

See you at the rink.
