It's going to be a busy day folks. Crazy busy. That's what the first day of training camp is like. Players go for their medicals, but do so much more, like pose for photos that are used in their profiles by TSN, Sportsnet and in-house at the Air Canada Centre.

They try to squeeze in media interviews, too. Maybe Phil Kessel can talk about his favourite break-out plays.



GM Dave Nonis is to talk to the media at noon. Coach Randy Carlyle will talk after him.

We're going to have a live blog going throughout.

So to get things started, here's a look at some of the of the 66 players invited to Leafs camp, who your probably haven't heard of. Just in case one of them makes it, you can tell your friends you already knew something about him.
