The Colorado Avalanche held an optional on-ice practice today before the team took off for their western Canadian road trip. Participants of the practice included Vladislav Kamenev, Alexander Kerfoot, Gabriel Bourque, Mark Barberio, Sheldon Dries, and Tyson Jost.
The Avalanche’s new skills coach, Shawn Allard, ran the practice today. He set up a system of tires, padded foam, and sticks for the players to run drills.
It turned out to be a great format for Jost to show off some of his skills. All of the above players participated, but Jost, and Kerfoot to a point, were the standouts in skating and puck handling.
