Prospects Tournament 2002

2002 Notes
Of the Wings twentyfour-man tournament roster, 8 were amateur tryouts, and the remaining 16 were under contract in the organization. Danny Groulx, Darryl Bootland, and Matt Ellis were signed as free agents prior to camp to help stock the Wings new primary affiliate in Grand Rapids. Tryout speedster Nate Robinson showed off his impressive skating in camp and won a three year contract with Detroit.
