The Atlanta Thrashers announced their training camp roster yesterday, and 2008-09 CHL Rookie of the Year Darryl Smith is on it.
It seems Smith's performance at the Traverse City Prospect Evaluation Tournament turned a few heads, and that earned him an invite to the team's official camp, which began today with physicals and medical testing.
The players will hit the ice tomorrow morning at 9 a.m., and Smith has camp and six preseason games to prove himself worthy of a roster spot once the regular season begins.
Smith is one of 13 players at camp without a contract with either the Thrashers or their AHL affiliate, the Chicago Wolves, so he'll be trying out for a chance to sign with one of those teams.
I'll try to monitor Smith's progress at camp as much as possible, especially if the AP happens to get any photos of him.
