From Sept. 30 to Oct. 3, the Raptors will hold training camp at the University of Calgary for the first time, concluding with an open practice on the final day. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been nearly a decade since we were last in Calgary, so we\u2019re excited to be spending the better part of a week in Stampede City,\u201d Raptors general manager Bobby Webster said in a release. \u201cTraining camp is really important for our team. It\u2019s where we come together to focus on the year ahead, so making sure the city and the venue works is key. We think Calgary will be great \u2014 the facilities at UCalgary are top-class and we\u2019re looking forward to exploring all the city has to offer.\u201d<\/p>\n
The team will then open its pre-season slate on Oct. 6 in Vancouver against Jamal Murray and the Denver Nuggets at Rogers Arena.<\/p>\n
