The Golden Knights announced the roster for their rookie camp, which begins Sept. 5. The first practice is scheduled for 10:15 a.m. on Sept. 6 at City National Arena, before the players head to Anaheim for the Rookie Faceoff.

Top prospect Cody Glass headlines the Vegas rookies with defenseman Nicolas Hague. The roster also includes defenseman Jimmy Schuldt, a restricted free agent who remains without a contract.
