Tyson McLellan, a freshman forward for the University of Denver, is the son of Edmonton coach Todd McLellan, and Tyson took part in the Oilers’ father-son trip through Denver and Arizona, where Edmonton plays Friday.
Many of the players’ fathers are on the trip, and they and the entire team ate at Elway’s in Cherry Creek on Tuesday night. Tyson, who attended Wednesday’s game against the Avalanche at the Pepsi Center but won’t be going on to Arizona with DU playing Friday and Saturday, noted that it was special to have his father coming through town before the Thanksgiving holiday.
