Byfield left the ice, hasn't returned. It's been about 10 minutes. Might be skate related.
— John Hoven | The Mayor (@mayorNHL) August 23, 2021
Byfield may have had a separate issue going on before he even stepped on the ice. That's what I'm hearing. Awaiting more info. FWIW — he was only on the ice for six minutes. pic.twitter.com/GJJ7goeKF7

Early equipment issue for @Parik302 — had to swap out his mask a minute ago… pic.twitter.com/Qo8zbCKi3s

Turcotte is game ready. RIGHT NOW. Dude is non stop compete. Battles, battles, then battles some more. He's probably going to fight somebody for their lunch today.
— John Hoven | The Mayor (@mayorNHL) August 23, 2021
I know it's practice.
I know it's August.
I know, I know.
But, damn. Turcotte was impressive.

Turcotte talking about how about much more comfortable he feels at Dev Camp this time around, compared to the last one (in 2019). Admits to being really nervous that first time he was at Dev Camp. He's been in LA most of the summer – "I feel more than ready for this season."
— John Hoven | The Mayor (@mayorNHL) August 23, 2021
Fagemo talking about how much faster things happen on the smaller rink and that was the big thing he had to adjust to this past season with Ontario. Added, "Coaches asked me to focus on my defense and getting stronger this summer. That's what I was working on."
— John Hoven | The Mayor (@mayorNHL) August 23, 2021
LA Kings development coach Mike Donnelly talking about Fagemo — He's very coachable, wants to get better, pushes himself. Happy with his transition in coming over from Europe and understanding what it takes to play here.
— John Hoven | The Mayor (@mayorNHL) August 23, 2021
Donnelly on Turcotte – He's had a great summer. Understands how hard it's going to be to make the NHL. Puts the work in on the gym and on the ice. Seeing him out there, I'm seeing huge strides. There are big difference in his game right now.

Players will be back on the ice at 3pm. We also have a live ‘radio’ show coming up from TSPC at 2pm, see twitter for the link (note: there will not be a replay, it’s live only).
UPDATE – 2pm: MayorsManor has learned that Quinton Byfield has been nursing a foot injury of late. It’s apparently been bothering him for about a week. He tried to give it a go this morning and things just didn’t feel right. From what we’ve been able to gather, there’s no real rush to get him back out there; so we’ll keep an eye on things and provide more information as the week unfolds.
Notes from the afternoon session posted here.
