Camp Overview and Timing
The Tampa Bay Lightning officially released the schedule for their 2026 Development Camp, presented by Florida Blue. On‑ice testing kicks off on Monday, June 29, marking the start of a series of workouts that will run through the week before the annual 3‑on‑3 tournament.
The camp will feature a 19‑player roster that includes 11 skaters born in Canada, the most of any nation represented. Participants span 12 forwards, four defensemen and three goaltenders, providing a deep pool of talent for evaluation.
Prospects and Notable Additions
Among the highlighted prospects are 2025 draft selections Ethan Czata, Aiden Foster, Everett Baldwin, Marco Mignosa, Grant Spada and goaltender Caleb Heil. The roster also welcomes OHL champions Sam O’Reilly and Memorial Cup winners Jack Pridham, while 2024 Lightning draftees Jan Golicic, Hagen Burrows and Harrison Meneghin round out the group.
Veteran staff members such as Dave Randorf and Brian Engblom will guide the camp, alongside analyst Gabby Shirley, who will provide insights throughout the on‑ice sessions.
Broadcast and Tournament Details
The camp’s climax will be a 3‑on‑3 tournament streamed live on the Lightning App and aired on The Spot Tampa Bay 66. Fans can expect real‑time coverage of the final games, adding an interactive element to the developmental showcase.
Additional players are expected to be added after the 2026 NHL Draft, which is scheduled to take place tonight and continue tomorrow, potentially expanding the pool of talent before the camp’s conclusion.
