Anaheim’s top prospects will participate in both on-ice and off-ice workouts at Great Park Ice throughout the Development Camp, running June 26-29. All seven of Anaheim’s selections from the 2019 NHL Draft will participate in the camp, including center Trevor Zegras (first round, ninth overall), left wing Brayden Tracey (first round, 29th overall), defenseman Jackson LaCombe (second round, 39th overall), defenseman Henry Thrun (fourth round, 101st overall), center Trevor Janicke (fifth round, 132nd overall), defenseman William Francis (sixth round, 163rd overall), and defenseman Mathew Hill (sixth round, 186th overall).
