Winnipeg Blues: The Week That Was and The Week Ahead

Every Monday i will be letting you know what's coming up for the Blues in the upcoming week, and what happened in the previous week.

The Week That Was

The Blues opened up their Rookie Camp just over a week ago, and then went to work on their regular camp which opened up this past Saturday.

Close to 70 players came out vying for a spot on the Blues roster for the 2010/11 season.   By Monday, the player count had been reduced to around 50.

The Week Ahead

The Blues coaching staff will continue to make decisions as to who will be suiting up for the team when the regular season opens up on September 17th.  

The Pre Season schedule kicks off Tuesday for the Blues, when they'll welcome the Winnipeg Saints.  It'll be the first meeting between the 2 clubs since the Saints swept the Blues in in the first round of last season's playoffs.

Then on Thursday the Selkirk Steelers visit the Iceplex for the first time, as they visit the Blues.

On Friday the Blues once again lace it up against the Saints.

And on Sunday, the Steelers and Blues renew aquaintances for the 4th exhibition game of the week, this time in Selkirk.

That's the week ahead for the Blues.
