Minnesota Wild Reduce Training Camp Roster Ahead of Preseason Game

SAINT PAUL, Minn. – Minnesota Wild President of Hockey Operations and General Manager Bill Guerin announced today that the team’s training camp roster has been reduced to 52 players.

The Wild assigned forward Lirim Amidovski to the North Bay Battalion, forward Adam Benak to the Brantford Bulldogs, forward Carter Klippenstein to the Brandon Wheat Kings, and goalie Chase Wutzke to the Red Deer Rebels. Additionally, the team released defensemen Rowan Topp and Jordan Tourigny from their amateur tryouts.

Furthermore, Minnesota released forwards Matthew Sop and Ryan McGuire, as well as goalie William Rousseau from their professional tryouts, and those players will report to the Iowa Wild training camp.
