The Capitals open their 2010-11 MHL (Maritime Junior Hockey League) schedule on home ice against the Dieppe Commandos on Sunday. Game time at Credit Union Place is 2 p.m.
"Camp has been competitive and we like the way it's gone," said Capitals head coach Gordie Dwyer. "It's a continuous work in progress for the whole season."
Dwyer, in his second season behind the Caps' bench, admits finalizing the opening-day roster will not be an easy task.
"There are a lot of guys who are really making it hard on us," said Dwyer. "That's a good thing.
"As an organization, we have a lot of real good young players that we have to make decisions on regarding their midget eligibility. A lot of guys have really stepped up in camp and in the exhibition season."
MacDonald returns
The Capitals' blue-line received a boost earlier this week when it was learned that third-year defenceman Spencer MacDonald will be rejoining the team after attending the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League's Saint John Sea Dogs' training camp.
"He's going to be a huge plus for our hockey team," said Dwyer. "He's a player the fans know well, and he'll be a real good player at this level.
"We're excited to have him back."
