The Halifax Mooseheads are getting back to work soon.

Training camp opens at the RBC Centre in Dartmouth on August 17.

Fifty-one players are coming to camp to battle for a spot on the opening night roster.

The Mooseheads will play their Nova Scotian rivals, the Cape Breton Eagles in a home-and-home set to open the preseason on August 20 and 21.

It’s a new look squad, star players Mathieu Cataford, Dylan MacKinnon and Markus Vidicek were dealt away before the draft.

And a new coach will be behind the bench, Andrew Lord.
