HERSHEY, PA – Mike Haviland directs the first day of training camp at Hersheypark Arena
There was a whole new look in the Old Barn on the opening day of Hershey Bears training camp. A new coach, new players and even a new ceiling in the Hersheypark Arena. Some of Mike Haviland’s new players had never been in the building, but it’s where the Bears will practice this week before the first pre-season game Friday night against Utica at Giant Center

The Washington Capitals announced today they have assigned four players to the Hershey Bears after making Saturday’s cuts. Those four players are Casey Wellman, Ryan Stoa, Jeff Taffe, and Nathan Walker. Walker, as reported by the George McPhee on Saturday, has signed a one-year deal with Hershey.

It looks like Garrett Mitchell is having a good off season. On the first day of goose hunting season, Hershey’s forward got two of the birds. We’re guessing he killed both of them with his hands, but that gun might have also been used to get those bad boys.
The Hershey Bears schedule is finally out. The first game is just 45 days away, but the delay wasn’t the Bears fault. The AHL has a handful of teams that play in NBA arenas, so the league had to wait until the NBA schedule was complete.

The Washington Capitals announced Tuesday the signing of AHL veteran Brandon Segal to a one year, two-way contract. Segal participated in 73 games with the Connecticut Whale last season and battled against the Bears in the 2006 Calder Cup Finals as a member of the Milwaukee Admirals.
