The Western Hockey League is proud to announce that 131 WHL players have been invited to attend NHL training camps in September. All of the 131 players attending NHL camps are eligible to return to the WHL for the 2014-15 season.
Of the 131 WHL players set to attend NHL training camps, 92 were selected in the NHL Draft and 39 are free agent invitees. Of the players who are attending NHL camps, 44 have been signed to NHL entry-level contracts.
All 22 WHL Clubs will send at least two players to an NHL training camp. The Portland Winterhawks boast an impressive 13 players who will attend NHL camps, which is the most of any WHL Club. In addition, the Edmonton Oil Kings will send 12 players to NHL camps, and the Kelowna Rockets will see 11 players attend NHL training camps.
Each year, WHL graduates make up a significant percentage of players who play in the NHL. In 2013-14, WHL graduates accounted for 20 per cent of all players who played at least one game in the NHL.
The following is a list of WHL players, by team, who will attend NHL training camps for the 2014-15 season:
