It is highly unlikely scouts have overlooked the next Sidney Crosby.
But just in case, the Las Vegas Wranglers and the Bakersfield Condors are holding a joint free agent tryout camp to possibly add to their respective rosters.
The open tryout will take place at the SOBE Ice Arena at the Fiesta Rancho Hotel & Casino on Sept. 28 and 29.
There are 50 total tryout spots with a maximum of four goaltenders. All players must be at least 18-years-old and must pay a $125 registration fee for two on-ice practice sessions.
Check-in begins each day at 11 a.m. with practice running from 12:30 to 2 p.m. All practices are open to the public for viewing and tryouts are on a first-come, first-served basis.
To register for the Free Agent Camp contact Endea Leigh in the Wranglers front office at (702) 471-PUCK (7825).
The Wranglers training camp begins Oct. 1 with the regular season opener on Oct. 16.
Located away from the hustle and bustle of the Strip and downtown, the Fiesta Rancho offers a friendly, locals-oriented atmosphere.
Decorated in a Southwestern style like its sister-property Fiesta Henderson, the 50,000 square foot casino features more than 1,350 slot and video poker machines, 14 table games and a 300-seat bingo hall. One of the casino's most notable features is its 100-seat race and sports book — with drive through service. There is also a 12-seat keno lounge.
Dining options at Fiesta Rancho include the Festival Buffet with six live-action cooking stations and over 60 daily selections to choose from, authentic Mexican cuisine at Garduno's and affordable favorites at Denny's.
