Warriors announce training camp roster

The Michigan Warriors today announced its training camp roster, featuring 28 talented young players from Michigan, other Midwest states and Ontario.

The players, most ranging in age from 18 to 20, earned an invitation to the team’s training camp, which begins at 2 p.m. Monday, Sept. 6 at Flint’s Perani Arena. The training camp roster will feature 24 players from communities across Michigan, including several returning from the roster of 2009-10 NAHL North Division champion Marquette Rangers, the team that moved to Flint to become the Michigan Warriors this spring.

The Warriors’ final 2010-11 roster will include 23 players from the training camp roster announced today. The team plans to announce the final roster by Oct. 1.

“It’s worth repeating that not just any kid off the street is making this team,” said Michigan coach-GM Moe Mantha. “Our scouting staff has worked all summer to identify the very best young hockey players available and to bring the Flint hockey community a team it can be proud of. We’re excited about the talent, character and determination we have on the training camp roster and are looking forward to showing all of mid-Michigan what the Michigan Warriors and NAHL brand of hockey is all about.”
