Each of the club's four selections from the 2017 NHL Draft, held this past weekend in Chicago, will attend this year's camp. Local fans will get their first chance to welcome Shane Bowers, a centre from the United States Hockey League's Waterloo Black Hawks, who the Senators selected with their first-round pick (28th overall).

The development camp, which focuses on off-ice and on-ice training, is led by Senators assistant general manager Randy Lee and player development coach Shean Donovan in addition to members of the Senators coaching staff including associate coach Marc Crawford, assistant coaches Rob Cookson and Martin Raymond, goaltending coach Pierre Groulx, conditioning coach Chris Schwarz, Belleville Senators head coach Kurt Kleinendorst, goaltending development coach Kory Cooper and University of Guelph head coach Shawn Camp.

The annual evening scrimmage will take place at the Kanata Recreation Complex (100 Charlie Rogers Place) on Thursday, June 29, at 6:15 p.m. The scrimmage provides the Senators' prospects with the opportunity to showcase their respective talent in a game-like setting (two 20-minute periods), while allowing fans the chance to see the future of the hockey club up-close. Following the scrimmage, Senators season-seat members will be invited to the Ron Maslin Playhouse (Kanata Theatre) for an exclusive meet and greet opportunity with the prospects and to attend a management hotstove session.
