This summer was filled with skating. Lots of skating. More skating than he’s probably done in a very long time.
It’s what Jason Akeson thought would help his game. The 25-year old is looking for that edge to take him from American Hockey League player with special guest appearances in the NHL to full-time in the show.
The forward made it through the first round of sending players to Rochester to start the season in the AHL.
And he’s hoping to earn his keep on an NHL roster.
That’s where the summer work comes into play.
