Selected Colgate student-athletes are participating this summer in NHL Player Developmental Camps.
Six current members of the Colgate men’s hockey team and one former student-athlete have been participating in 2014 NHL Player Development Camps.
Three Raiders – Tylor Spink, Tyson Spink and Kyle Baun – were at the Detroit Red Wings’ camp July 4-8 in Traverse City, Mich. Baun also was scheduled to attend the Boston Bruins’ camp, while Spiro Goulakos received a New York Rangers invitation, Jake Kulevich participated with the San Jose Sharks, and Mike Borkowski earned an invite from the Vancouver Canucks.
Former Colgate student-athlete Thomas Larkin ’13 participated in the developmental camp of the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Here’s the latest list of NCAA players at the 2014 camps.

The professional-level camps, which do not affect student-athlete NCAA eligibility, are designed to give players the experience of an NHL training camp.
Rookies and prospects participate in on-ice practices and scrimmages, medical and fitness training, meetings and seminars, as well as off-ice team-building activities.
