Chris Pronger is scheduled to begin skating for the first time this summer on Friday. He recently started a weightlifting program after being hampered by four surgeries in 2010-11 on his back, foot, hand, and knee. The Philadelphia veterans are expected to report to the Skate Zone in Voorhees next Friday, but Pronger doesn't think he'll be able to participate. He also said that he isn't sure if he will be ready for the regular season opener, but we'll keep you posted.
