The Hershey Bears are two days into their training camp for the 2016-17 season. Today, we visited Giant Center and captured the events from the ice in both photo and video form.

Monday marked the first day of 2016 Washington Capitals Developmental Camp at Kettler Capitals Iceplex. Only 16 days after the Hershey Bears season came to an end, four members of the Calder Cup Runner-Up team participated in the Camp. Travis Boyd, Riley Barber, Madison Bowey, and Tyler Lewington took part in a day of drills and classes.
Below the jump are photos from the first day of the camp.

It was the result nobody expected (except me). The Hershey Bears are heading back to the Calder Cup finals for the first time since 2010 and beat the best team during the regular season in the process. After taking a 3-0 series lead, the Bears lost to Toronto in game four on Friday night, 5-0. But Sunday afternoon was the Bears day, as they pulled out a 3-2 victory over the Marlies, giving them the AHL’s Eastern Conference Title.

Despite being outshot 40-23 on Saturday night, the Hershey Bears are heading north of the border with a 2-0 series lead over the Toronto Marlies. With goals from Chandler Stephenson, Jakub Vrana, and Carter Camper in OT, Hershey never seemed to be out of Game Two against the Marlies despite going down in shots 15-2 in the first and 27-7 after two periods.
