64 players will skate this weekend, divided into three teams for competition

Each team will practice once and play two games before a "young guns" game Friday afternoon and a Blue-Gray game Friday evening. Two all-star games are scheduled for Saturday before the Wenatchee hockey operations staff makes its final selections for the preseason roster.

Where and how much are tickets to Wild Training Camp?

All games will be played on the Town Toyota Center’s arena rink, and all on-ice activities during the Wild training camp are free and open to the public.

See the Most Played Country Song from the Year You Were Born

Who had the most played country song during the year you were born? This list is a fascinating time capsule of prevalent trends from every decade in American history. Scroll through to find your birth year and then click to listen. Some of these songs have been lost through the years, many of them for good reason!

Men named Hank dominated early before stars like Freddie Hart, Ronnie Milsap, Willie Nelson Clint Black took over to close the 1980s. More recently it's been Tim Mcgraw, Rodney Atkins, Kane Brown and Morgan Wallen. Did the most-played country song from the year you were born become a favorite of yours later? All info comes from Billboard's country airplay charts.
