On Monday, the Pittsburgh Penguins announced the schedule for their annual prospect development camp, which will take place during the week immediately following the NHL Entry Draft.
In years past, the camp has featured some of the organization’s very best prospects. And while that may not be the case across the board this time around, there is still plenty of intrigue with the players who will be showing up.

Development camp will be held from Jun. 29 – Jul. 3, which is right after the draft and during the onset of free agency. It will be open to the public and offers a rare opportunity for fans to see a glimpse of the Penguins’ future.
Some of the most prominent prospects featured will be 2025 first-round pick (24th overall) Will Horcoff, defensive prospect Quinn Beauchesne, newly signed NCAA prospect defensemen Jake Livanavage and Maleek McGowan, and goaltender Gabriel D’Aigle.
The initial roster features 22 players, but more will be added to the roster following the draft, which will take place on Jun. 26-27.
