LOVELAND — To say the past month has been a whirlwind for Taylor Makar would certainly be an understatement.
One weekend, he was scoring two goals to help Maine win the Hockey East tournament for the first time in 21 years. The next, he felt the thrill of playing in the NCAA Tournament and the despair of being knocked out in the opening round.
A few days later, he signed his first professional contract and then made his AHL debut with the Colorado Eagles.
“It’s been fun. Definitely a fast pace, leaving school and everything,” Makar said.
