Incoming Merrimack College freshman Michael Babcock has been invited back to the Detroit Red Wings development camp, scheduled for after this weekend’s NHL Draft.

Babcock, who is the son of former Red Wings head coach Mike Babcock, has been at the Detroit camp for the past two seasons.

In 60 games this season with the USHL’s Fargo Force, Babcock captained the team and finished with 12 points (4 goals, 8 assists). The 5-foot-9, 161-pound forwarded has been lauded for his hustle and effort.

Babcock joins Collin Delia (Toronto), Hampus Gustafsson (Buffalo) and incoming freshman Ludvig Larsson (Dallas) at NHL development camps this summer. It’s also presumed that rising junior Chris LeBlanc will attend Ottawa’s camp, after being selected by the Senators in the 2013 draft. He missed last summer’s camp recovering from ACL surgery.

Brett Seney and incoming Merrimack freshman Ethan Spaxman could both potentially be drafted this weekend. If so, they would be invited to development camps as well.
