MOB training camp starts tonight ahead of exhibition opener tomorrow

The Barons are back in town.

The Fort McMurray Oil Barons training camp starts up tonight at 7 o’clock at the Casman Centre, ahead of the team’s exhibition opener tomorrow night at 7.

Their first opponent, the Notre Dame Hounds, will be practicing at the Casman this afternoon before tomorrow night’s Dream a Dream 17 game.

The MOB has high expectations this year, with a large number of returning players, but also some new arrivals like high-scoring forward Ryan Bloom and new defenceman Austin Yadlowski.

The roster will likely change again soon, as GM Gord Thibodeau is expected to trade forward Matt Grant, who didn’t report after being acquired from the BC league in the off-season.
