After the NHL Draft, it’s always exciting to see the Canucks’ newest prospects hit the ice at development camp. Canuck prospects will gather in Vancouver for a week’s worth of on and off-ice learning, and this year, the Canucks decided to modify their plans to make the week even more impactful for the players.

The 2024 development camp will have drills customized to each player's needs and laser-focused on individual learning. A higher coach-to-player ratio allows them to teach personalized drills. Instead of a 50-player roster, there will be 28 players, which includes many of the organization’s prospects, the incoming 2024 draft class, and a small number of invitees.

Many of the players that took part in Canucks 2023 development camp said they learned a lot from Yogi Švejkovský’s small area drills; for example, how to turn their body on a breakout or how to properly grab a puck on a board play.

Player Development coaches Mikael Samuelsson and Mike Komisarek collaborated on the itinerary for Canucks development camp and the group of players will split off into small groups to work on assigned drills with Samuelsson, Komisarek, Daniel and Henrik Sedin, and Švejkovský.

Decent piece about what our prospects will be doing at camp. Definitely appreciate a peak at what the team wants to do with their development.
