As the L.A Kings development camp continues this week two local defenseman are hoping to make their case. Stratford's Jacob Middleton and Sauble Beach native Kurtis MacDermid are both taking part in the on-ice sessions that evaluate the King's prospects.
Middleton is a 2014 draft pick of the Kings. The 6'3 blueliner for the Ottawa 67's had 27 points this past season.
Going undrafted, MacDermid signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Kings back in 2012 and has been taking part in camps ever since. He had a career high 40 points for the Erie Otters this past season. The 21-year-old is now looking to turn pro following an end to his junior career.
Also taking part in the Kings' camp are two Owen Sound Attack players. Defenseman Damir Sharipzyanov and goalie Jack Flinn were both invited to the camp.
