Hayley Wickenheiser on Easton Cowan’s NHL readiness: “He’s going to make a push… He’s very close”

What is your focus with all of the young players? What do you hope they get out of this development camp?

Wickenheiser: It is a mix of competitiveness, teaching, and trying to prep them with pro habits they can take away for their offseasons and their summers, wherever they end up, to help them take their games to the next level. You are trying to balance the intensity at this time of the year — when guys have been off the ice for a while — with putting content on the ice that is going to be worthwhile for them and elevate them at this point in their careers.
