2) Today is player orientation and Media Day at the Flyers Training Center in Voorhees. Tomorrow, there will be no pucks on the ice as John Tortorella brings his infamous rope out on the ice and conducts his annual ultra-grueling skating test for the first official day of training camp.

3) Below is the daily on-ice schedule for the first four days of camp leading into the exhibition schedule opener. As with last year, there will be three daily scrimmages with one group playing back-to-back scrimmages. If Tortorella holds to last year's format, much of the lineup in Sunday's exhibition opener in DC (3:00 p.m. EDT) will consist of players from the group that scrimmaged twice the previous day.
