July 13: Free Agency Opens
An opportunity for Ducks GM Pat Verbeek to add established veterans to his young corps begins on July 13 with the commencement of NHL Free Agency.
Verbeek, who Sunday told season ticket holders he expects a busy summer of roster construction, has plenty of salary cap space at his disposal as he reshapes the Ducks for the future.
August 9-20: IIHF World Junior Championship
Let's try this again.
The world's best annual international hockey tournament will move from its customary winter timeslot to the summer this year after the 2022 version of the competition was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The IIHF says the tournament will start over new, erasing any previous results from last December, while Latvia will replace Russia in the eight-team field.
Final rosters for the second try at the tournament have yet to be released, but the Ducks had four prospects present prior to the postponement, Canada's Zellweger and McTavish and the United States' Ian Moore and Sasha Pastujov.
September 16-19: 2022 Rookie Faceoff
The Rookie Faceoff continues its west coast tour in 2022 with a visit to San Jose and the new 4,200 seat arena at Sharks Ice.
The annual rookie tournament features the Ducks, Kings, Sharks, Coyotes, Avalanche and Golden Knights, with each team playing three games in four days.
