"Defenseman Brandon Gormley's hockey gear was a hot topic during Day 2 of the Coyotes Prospect Development Camp at Polar Ice in Peoria.

"My gear didn't come yesterday," said Gormley, who was a Coyotes first-round pick (13th overall) in last season's NHL draft. "The airport here in Phoenix sent my gear to Mexico."

After sitting out Thursday's practice, Gormley hit the ice Friday morning trying to remind the Coyotes why they made him their first pick a year ago.

"I was pretty happy to see my gear in the locker room this morning and being able to show how much I have improved," Gormley said.

Gormley, 19, hasn't had a taste of the NHL yet, but toward the end of last season he signed an entry-level contract with the Coyotes to appear in the American Hockey League, where he played four games with the San Antonio Rampage.

Gormley started the 2010-11 season playing for Moncton of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, but had to miss 20 games after suffering a knee injury. The injury also sidelined him from playing with the Canadian National Team at the Junior World Hockey Championships.

"Injuries are part of the game, but I'm 100 percent now and ready to go," Gormley said."
