Flyers prospects Schenn and Couturier to appear at development camp

Highly touted center Brayden Schenn, one of the players the Flyers acquired from the Los Angeles Kings in the Mike Richards trade, and promising Sean Couturier will be among the prospects at the team's developmental camp at the Skate Zone in Voorhees.

The camp starts Wednesday and runs through next Monday.

Schenn, who turns 20 on Aug. 22, was the fifth overall pick in the 2009 draft. He dominated the Western Hockey League - in his four-year career, he had 116 goals and 315 points in 224 career games - and will be given a chance to crack the Flyers' lineup this season.

Schenn led Team Canada to a silver medal in the 2011 World Junior Championships, and he appeared in a total of nine games for the Kings over the last two seasons.

Couturier, 18, was selected with the draft pick (eighth overall) the Flyers received as part of the Jeff Carter trade with Columbus.

The 6-foot-4, 197-pound center was named the MVP of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League last season, scoring 96 points on 36 goals and 60 assists for Drummondville.

Many of the Flyers' top prospects will be at the camp, which is open to the public. It will be held from 9 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. on Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday, and from 9 to 11 a.m. next Monday.

On Thursday, there will be a public skating session from 12:30 to 3 p.m. Some players will be on the ice with fans at times during the session.

On Friday, the camp shifts to Stone Harbor, N.J., for the annual Trial on the Isle. The daylong event includes a 9 a.m. mini-triathlon competition, followed by a youth hockey clinic, an autograph session, and a charity softball game. - Sam Carchidi
