'As a team we’re on lockdown as much as we can be, to be as safe as possible to get to the hub. But it’s still out there.” Safety remains the main priority for Brad Treliving as the NHLFlames prepare to open training camp. (By EricFrancis)
The new agreement prohibits traditional training camp fitness testing, and the reports Treliving has received on player well-being have been anecdotal.“This is what has kept me up at night,” said Treliving, who announced his 35-player training camp roster Sunday.
Players have been leaving the rink during Phase 2 skates with grab and go meals, are given help with grocery deliveries and are educated on the do’s and don’ts.Following four months of tremendous work by the league and the Players’ Association to get to this point, the Flames are slated to open camp Monday with one group skating at 10 a.m. and another at 12:15.
Treliving said the call he received from Hamonic didn’t come as a huge surprise, and he understood the decision made in an effort to protect his family’s health.
