Garrett Zemlak, a goaltender with the Prince Albert, Saskatchewan Raiders who was not selected in the 2009 NHL draft, will have the chance to show his talents at the Washington Capitals rookie camp beginning next week in Arlington, VA.
"It's something I've been really working towards," Zemlak, 20, told the Prince Albert Daily Herald. "To be invited as a free agent is an honor considering they only have a few spots at the camp for players other than their draft picks.
"They have an intense itinerary, but that's something I've been preparing for through my off-season training. It's nice that they have spotted something in you and feel you're worth a look at. In the end, it's up to me to prove that I belong and hope for an invite to the main camp."
The 6 ft 1 Zemlak appeared in 33 games last season with the Raiders. He posted a 16-12-1 record with a 3.65 GGA and 0.896 save percentage. Sphere: Related Content
