Alex Newhook gets his chance

The boy from Newfoundland will finally have his best chance in the NHL. Alex Newhook has been confirmed to be on the second line playing center for a good portion of the season for the Colorado Avalanche, Jared Bednar said.

Jared Bednar said he wants to give Alex Newhook a real shot at 2C, not just a few games. He said he’ll have multiple months — perhaps even until the trade deadline — to see what he can do.

After being sent down to the Colorado Eagles after Opening Night last year, Newhook had been on a mission to get back into the team at Ball Arena.
