OTTAWA - The Ottawa Senators today released the schedule and list of 31 players attending the annual development camp from June 29 to July 5 at Scotiabank Place and the Bell Sensplex. The club invited three goaltenders, 10 defencemen and 18 forwards.

Each of the club’s four selections from the 2010 NHL Entry Draft held Friday and Saturday in Los Angeles will attend, as will the Senators’ most recent first-round pick, Jared Cowen. This year’s camp will mark the first full camp for Cowen, who was recovering from injury last summer but did participate in several drills.

The development camp, which focuses on off-ice and on-ice training, is led by Randy Lee, the Senators’ director of player development and hockey administration, and the team’s coaching staff led by video coach Tim Pattyson, strength and conditioning coach Chris Schwarz and power-skating specialist Marc Power.

“This camp will expose players to the team’s training program, while providing staff with the opportunity to evaluate prospects and prepare a variety of specific off-season training programs,” Lee said. “In addition to the important aspect of physical training, the group will also work on sports biochemistry and nutrition, sleep as it relates to athletic performance, mental skills as well as team-building activities.”

Highlights of the Senators development camp schedule:
- On-ice training every day at the Bell Sensplex, starting Tuesday, June 29, at 1:30 p.m., with the exception of the camp’s final day, Monday, July 5, which features the 3-on-3 tournament.
- An evening scrimmage (5-on-5) will take place for the first time at this year’s camp, on Wednesday, June 30, at 6:30 p.m. at the Bell Sensplex. The scrimmage will be followed by a meet and greet reception with Senators season seat holders at Stanley’s Restaurant on the upper level of the Sensplex.
- The annual 3-on-3 tournament returns to the Bell Sensplex on Monday, July 5, at 9:45 a.m.
