One step inside the rink at the OhioHealth Ice Haus provided ample indication: it was hockey time once again in Columbus.
Yes, it’s development camp week, but there is palpable anticipation for this group of kids (both the newcomers and the returnees). Sonny Milano, last year’s first round pick, is a year older and preparing to play full-time pro hockey this season, whether it’s in Columbus or Cleveland.
Related: every time I type “Cleveland,” I get really excited. I don’t think it’s sunk in yet that the AHL affiliate is two hours up the road.
