Chris Waterstreet of the Oswego State men's ice hockey team was the only member of an NCAA Division III institution to earn an invite to one of the 2014 National Hockey League (NHL) Development Camps.
In all, over 300 active and future players from 54 schools, 53 of which are Division I members, participated in the developmental camps, according to SB Nation College Hockey's Nathan Wells.
Waterstreet, who will be entering his sophomore season as a Laker, was invited to the 2014 Washington Capitals Development Camp. The camp ran from July 7-12 at the Kettler Capitals Iceplex in Arlington, Va. A forward, Waterstreet participated with several Capitals prospects and recent draft picks as well as undrafted and amateur players.
The Northville, Mich., native finished with five goals and four assists for Oswego during his freshman campaign in the 2013-14 season. He saw significant time in 27 games for the Lakers, helping the squad reach the NCAA Division III Championship Frozen Four for the fifth-consecutive year.
Waterstreet and Oswego will be back on the ice at 7 p.m. on Oct. 25 as they host the U.S. National Under-18 team in an exhibition contest. The regular season and SUNYAC schedule will start on the road at Buffalo State on Oct. 30 as the Lakers' quest for a third-straight conference championship begins.
