Hockey season is now back with the first Leafs practice of training camp. There were two main groups on the ice today out of the 73 on the roster.

### Group One

Steven Lorentz  
Calle Järnkrok  
Matt Knies  
Scott Laughton  
Bo Groulx  
Auston Matthews  
Borya Valis  
Michael Pezzetta  
Matias Maccelli  
David Kämpf  
Matthew Barbolini  
Ryan Tverberg  
Nick Robertson

Henry Thrun  
Brandon Carlo  
Matt Benning  
Ben Danford  
Morgan Rielly  
Phil Myers  
Noah Chadwick  
Marshall Rifai

Dennis Hildeby  
Anthony Stolarz

### Group Two

Jacob Quillan  
Landon Sim  
Luke Haymes  
Easton Cowan  
Nic Roy  
Vinni Lettieri  
Travis Boyd  
Bobby McMann  
Dakota Joshua  
William Nylander  
John Tavares  
Alexander Nylander  
Miroslav Holinka

Simon Benoit  
Chris Tanev  
Jake McCabe  
Dakota Mermis  
John Prokop  
Cade Webber  
William Villeneuve  
Oliver Ekman-Larsson

Joe Woll  
Artur Akhtyamov

The groups are evenly split with the Matthews line in one, the Tavares in the other, something that's been the case in every camp since Tavares arrived on the team. 

In the lines below that level are hints of the bottom six to come once the roster is culled of its excess. Nic Roy and Dakota Joshua seem like a pair a line will be structured around, and Scott Laughton and Steven Lorentz are the other pair. 

It's a four winger question to be answered, not just two.
