Not exactly South Beach

Reports out of south Florida tell me that a trip to Coral Springs over the next few days might be worth your time. It seems quite a few NHL players are tuning up for training camp at the Florida Panthers' practice rink, incredible ICE (that's their capitalization and italicization, not mine).

Monday's signing skaters: Craig Anderson, Wade Belak, Nathan Horton, Viktor Kozlov, Ville Peltonen, Anthony Stewart, Cory Stillman and Tomas Vokoun (looked a little rusty on the ice, I hear).

I've also been told that Ed Belfour, Roberto Luongo and Brendan Witt are skating at most of these sessions.

There are expectations, too, that more NHL players will attend as the calendar nears mid-September.
