As I reported last week, some of the Colorado Avalanche prospects and veterans have taken to the ice at their practice facility at South Suburban Park and Recreation.
I went to the facility yesterday. I thought it would be like the Captain’s Camp I saw last year during the Rookie Camp, which consisted of veteran players skating around and doing a few drills. To be honest, I thought I’d be lucky if I found that — I half expected nothing.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that the informal practice the players were holding was actually pretty formal.
