DETROIT -- On Monday morning, just hours after the ice was re-installed at Joe Louis Arena, Andreas Athanasiou was showing off his highlight-reel moves, going one-on-one against overmatched goaltenders.
But this time, Athanasiou wasn’t deking NHL goalies at The Joe. He was going against aspiring NHL talent during the first day of the 18th annual Red Wings Youth Hockey Camp.
Athanasiou was one of three current Red Wings players who served as guest instructors during the three-day camp which wrapped up Wednesday afternoon. The rookie, who turns 22 on Saturday, coached his first Youth Camp on Day 1, followed by third-year guest coaches Riley Sheahan and Luke Glendening on Days 2 and 3, respectively.
