I just got a press release from the Stampede (below) with the first 7 players they will be inviting to their training camp, starting the week of November 15.
The Stampede will also hold their first pre-season game in Burley on November 23, as they have done the past two years, with all the proceeds going back to Burley High School athletics.
With the 8 players from the draft tomorrow night, they will have 15 players for their training camp. They could add up to an additional 2 players for a total of 17, though that isn't likely, as they would probably need to be a returning player that is currently in Europe. The final roster will be cut to 10 prior to the start of the regular season.
