The Columbus Blue Jackets opened the 2015-16 season with the start of training camp today. The coaching staff put the team through structured and rigorous practices today, with little fanfare. The fanfare will come tomorrow, with more people expected to be available, but there was a small but vocal crowd most of the day.
I was able to watch groups 1 and 2 today, and I guess my impression would be 'veterans leading the way'. Scott Hartnell seemed the de facto leader of Group 1, while the Captain, Nick Foligno was the obvious leader of Group 2.
After a fast series of drills, the practice wound down with fitness testing.
