Avalanche 2016 Rookie Camp Recap

For the past week the Avalanche prospects have gone through coaching, drills and the first ever Rookie Showcase while also serving as the test case for the organization’s change in coaching and strategies. Subjectively they have looked good on the ice and shown improvement as the days went by, objectively they won both games they played last weekend and the Showcase title overall. We’ll see the effects of the new staff tomorrow when main training camp opens and the prospects work side-by-side with their more experienced peers.

Introduction

The Avs prospects reported to camp last Thursday for physicals and later a long coaching session outlining strategies, which drills would be implemented for on-ice practice and how they were to be run.
