The Calgary Sun describes how with a return to Calgary for him and his family coming after Labour Day, Michael Cammalleri is one of the few dozen NHLers taking part in the gruelling BioSteel Camp hosted by Gary Roberts. "It's a pretty intense training camp, so it gives you a good gauge where you're at conditioning-wise, where you're at skill set-wise going into NHL training camps," Cammalleri said. "I feel good where I'm at, feel good about things like how the puck's coming off (my stick when I shoot), how I'm seeing the game, seeing the ice.
"I'm not exactly where I want to be with my conditioning, but I don't want to be there yet, anyways. It's a long season, and I don't believe in killing yourself for Sept. 1. I believe in getting your body stronger and ready for the long season."
That said, the preparation he needs is more mental.
Cammalleri has spent this off-season working on his skating stride, as well as offensive skills, but has also been figuring things out in his head.
"That's the biggest thing," said the 30-year-old. "There were big changes in my life and things around me, the trade, having a family, settling into that.
"It's all been very positive changes and the happiest things that have happened to me, but you grow and discover more about yourself as a person, and I have to use it to get stronger and better.
"I hope it all allows me to be a better player and a better man."
