More than three-quarters of the prospects in attendance have been by team invitation, in addition to a handful of prospects that took advantage of the open registration.

In addition to scrimmages, players will also be put through fitness testing, baseline concussion testing, and sessions by educational advisor Tom McEvay, and goalie coach Alex Evin.
