Haddad Headed to Main Camp
Screaming Eagles forward Joey Haddad has been invited to the Main Training Camp of the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Haddad had been invited to the Penguins Rookie Camp in Kitchener, Ontario this past weekend.
Screaming Eagles General Manager and Head Coach Mario Durocher spoke with the Penguins on Tuesday morning and they informed him that Haddad would be heading to their main camp.
“I spoke with their scout Luc Gauthier who said Joey had a very good Rookie Camp and they wanted to take him up to the main camp, “ Durocher said.
Haddad was being considered for one of the three overage positions with the Screaming Eagles.
Chris Culligan another one of those players remains in the Minnesota Wild camp. Durocher said he will speak with them today on his status.
Meanwhile, defenceman Mathieu Brodeur a 2008 draft pick of the Phoenix Coyotes also remains at their camp. If he doesn’t stick with the Coyotes, Brodeur must return to the Screaming Eagles.
Still with NHL Training Camps, forward Robert Slaney leaves Friday for the main camp of the NHL’s Carolina Hurricanes.
