Second-year defenseman Charlie McAvoy acknowledged his teammates called him out after he was late to two separate team-related events this season.
McAvoy, speaking to the Boston Globe‘s Kevin Paul Dupont, admitted he needs to pay closer attention to the responsibilities of being a pro. After showing up late to the team bus following a game and to a meeting on special teams, McAvoy said the onus is on him to “make sure [he is] always there — five minutes early, 10 minutes early, 15 minutes early.”
“I’m a young guy, and trying to adjust and learn all the right things,” he told the Globe Saturday night.
