So far, Whitehorse Huskies head coach Mike Tuton likes what he’s seen.

The local senior hockey team broke camp Sunday afternoon after two days of drills, skating and strategizing at the Canada Games Centre.

“There will be no lack of scoring, I can tell you that,” Tuton told the Star.

“We’d still like to shore up the blue-line some, but we have four goalies who all look like they can play.”

Tuton and assistant coach Barry Blisner kept a watchful eye on players, many of whom were on skates for the first time this season.

“It was a promising turnout,” said Tuton. “There’s going to be some tough cuts. But to have more options and more choices and tougher decisions to make is always a good thing.

“At the end of the day, the guys have to realize we’re trying to put together a team to win the Coy Cup.”

While the final roster will not be named until after next weekend, the already potent offence could get a shot in the arm with the arrival of Ted Stephens and Joe Densmore.

Stephens, 25, has returned to the Yukon capital after an illustrious career with the Quebec league’s Moncton Wildcats and St. F.X. X-Men varsity team in Nova Scotia.

Likewise, the 24-year-old Densmore was one of the 20 skaters on the ice this weekend.

Densmore is only a few years removed from his high-scoring Junior B stint with the Peninsula Panthers in North Saanich, B.C.

Stephens returned home after looking into his pro hockey options.

“It didn’t really work out,” Stephens said after Sunday’s afternoon session.

“I’m happy I’m back and playing hockey still. Hopefully this year goes well.”

The slick forward said he’s excited to be reunited with his former teammates after spending nine winters on the East Coast.

“Representing your hometown is always nice,” he said. “And it’s cool to play with a few of my really good buddies all the way from novice hockey. It should go pretty good.

“There’s some guys here who have played some good hockey,” added Stephens. “I think we’re going to be a pretty skilled team, for sure.”

The camp drew one player from Dawson City – goalie Daniel Naef.

Naef made the long drive south from the Klondike to take a shot at manning the Huskies crease this season.

“If I make the team, I’d probably make the move to Whitehorse for the winter,” said the 23-year-old trucker. “But it all depends.”

Last year, the Huskies offence was led by the line of Evan Campbell, Adam Henderson and Kane Dawe.

The team went 8-0 in the regular season but were swept in a two-game playoff series by the eventual Coy Cup champion Fort St. John Flyers.

Several big-name players were missing from the weekend camp, including Henderson, Dawe, Derek Klassen and captain Jared Tuton.

The next action for the Huskies will consist of an intrasquad game Saturday afternoon at the Canada Games Centre’s Northwestel rink. Game time is 2:45. Cuts are expected to follow.

The season will likely begin on the road in November, followed by two home series in December and January.

In 1993, the Huskies won the Allan Cup – Canada’s AAA championship.
