Alex Kovalev is getting another shot at the National Hockey League.

Miami Herald writer Georger Richards tweeted Tuesday that the former NHL veteran is in Pompano, Florida with the Panthers and will attend their training camp when it gets under way.

Can we have a topic listing all the training camp invites for various teams?

I found a list of Providence players invited to Boston's camp.

Lane MacDermid
Jamie Tardiff
Ryan Spooner
Chris Bourque
Matt Bartkowski
David Warsofsky

And obviously Dougie Hamilton of the Niagara IceDogs.

Phantoms going to Flyers camp are: Schenn, Rinaldo, and Couterier (LOCKS to stay obviously). The other two going are Wellwood and Tye McGinn. (McGinn's had a great year so far and is a poor man's Simmonds. Total all around game and a power forward.)

They're also inviting Scott Laughton from Oshawa to come.

Defensively they didn't invite anyone. Gus is hurt as is Bourdon. Bourdon's season is likely over and Gus has a bad bone bruise that's kept him out the better part of a month. they were talking about Manning coming possibly but apparently he's not.

I asked Steve MacIntyre on Twitter if he would be attending Penguins camp because Tanner Glass can't do it all..

Steve MacIntyre (@Smacker33) tweeted at 10:24 PM on Wed, Jan 09, 2013:
@ScottyDoezntKno I'm not sure we will have to wait and see.

Why so he can float around and be a coach killer like he's been for 20 years. What a waste of skills!
He should of been a 600-700 goal guy and 1600 point guy with his skills and size and instead he was a 27 goal 65 point per year player!

The Calgary Flames gave Steve Begin his first opportunity when they drafted him shortly after his 18th birthday in the second round of the 1996 NHL entry draft.

And now, at age 34, the team is giving him another shot.

The sizable centreman and veteran of 488 career NHL games made his first appearance at WinSport Tuesday to introduce himself to potential teammates and evaluate his off-season conditioning.

Would not surprise me if the Pens call up Scott Harrington from the London Knights for a tryout , they also own Ollie Maatta from the Knights but Ollie is only 18 years old ..

Begin is a "sizable" centre? Also surpising to read he's only played 488 games. Seems like he's been around for more than that but he has had a fair share of injuries. Still would rather see him on the Habs than Petteri Nokelainen (who I like too but not as much)

Pandolfo to Boston

Veteran NHLer Jay Pandolfo has reportedly accepted an invite to Bruins camp, according to the Boston Globe.
The 38-year-old spent last season with the Islanders — scoring 1G-2A-3PTS in 62 games — and previously played under B’s head coach Claude Julien while the two were with the Devils organization.

3 points in 62 games? Dude should just retire already.
