I interrupt today's free agent coverage (Hossa to Detroit, Avery to Dallas) to bring you the details of this year's Prospect Development Camp. It'll run from July 8-13 in Duluth where all on-ice sessions are open to the public and free of charge. The schedule and roster are here. As always there are some invitees who are not the property of the Thrashers. This year some of those players bear striking resemblances to people in the Thrashers organization. Spencer Anderson from the Kitchener Rangers is the son of head coach John Anderson. Victor Saponari is the brother of 4th round draft pick Vinny. Mark Thorburn is the younger brother of Thrasher forward Chris.

As for the actual draftees and prospects, six of this year's picks will be in attendance. Daultan Leveille is the lone pick who will miss the camp, although Danick Paquette will leave early to go to Slovakia for an intense power-skating camp with  his former coach Clement Jodoin. three of the four players Atlanta drafted in 2007 will also be in attendance, including Niclas Lucenius who will be coming to Atlanta for the first time. If memory serves this will also be Jonas Enlund's (drafted in 2006) first prospect camp as well.

So if you have a hankering for some summer time hockey, come up to Duluth next week. Dress warm and pay attention to the signs if you're heading up I-85. The exit for Duluth has moved since the end of the season.
