Below are the sights, sounds, and observations from the second day of the event.

Bruins 2026 Development Camp Day 2 Notes:

Session 1- Defensemen:

  • Practice drills included gliding, skating around their sticks, and jumping over sticks. 
  • Liam Pettersson impressed during drills. 
  • Yuri Ivanov came out with the defensemen and stopped every puck that came his way. 
  • Liam Pettersson had some nice passes, but his shots went wide.
  • Cullen McCrate is a speedy skater.
  • Kyle Chauvette looked better on Tuesday with the defenseman than on Monday with the forwards. There looked to be improvement on Day 2.

Bruins 2026 Development Camp Day 2 Quotes:

  • Will Zellers on coming to the NHL soon: “Yeah, for sure. I mean, college is such a hard, hard league to play in. Like no matter [if it’s] Hockey East, NCHC, it's so hard to play against grown men. So, kind of proving myself, not to everyone, but also to myself, that I can play in college and still score goals. And Juniors for sure helped my confidence a lot, made me kind of realize [the] NHL isn't too far of a reach away. Still got a lot of work to do, but it felt good after this year.”
  • Cooper Simpson on Bruins development camp: “Yeah, it's a good experience. Coming back here, seeing all like the boys that were from last year and just all the new places and I don't know, it's a lot of fun. Just get better and keep training with all the fellow Bruins prospects.”
  • Parker MacKay on Will Moore: “Thought Will had a good year. He faced some adversity as a freshman and I think that him being around Boston all summer is going to be great for him. He's training here. He's putting the work in. I think that you can expect a jump offensively for him next year and want to see him kind of pull a line together.”
