Before Tyson Jost became a mainstay in the NHL with the Colorado Avalanche, to many of his junior and college buddies he was just “Josty,” a fun-loving, class clown of a character on his respective teams.
A favorite among fans, teammates and media here in Colorado, too, Jost has become known for his charisma on and off the ice, and for his fun, positive demeanor. In the oft stringent world of sports, where the game is treated like a serious business, Jost is beloved among his teammates and admirers for being an easy-spirited guy and one who keeps things loose and fun in the locker room.
