RoughRiders Open Training Camp This Weekend

September 1, 2005- The Clark Cup champion Cedar Rapids RoughRiders will open their 2005 training camp this weekend with double sessions Sunday and Monday at the Cedar Rapids Ice Arena. The Riders will practice from 8:00 to 10:00AM and again from 4:00 to 6:00PM both days. "We're really looking forward to getting back on the ice," said RoughRiders coach and general manager Mark Carlson. "Our guys have worked very hard during the offseason so they should be ready to go this weekend." Sunday's sessions will be open to the public. However, Monday's practices will be closed. The camp will continue with single practices at 2:30PM beginning next Tuesday.

That game is the first of three exhibition tilts in four nights for Cedar Rapids.
