Colorado Avalanche: Gabriel Landeskog Spends Day as Air Force Cadet

As part of the hype for the upcoming Stadium Series game at Air Force Academy, the Colorado Avalanche’s captain, Gabriel Landeskog, visited the site. In fact, he didn’t just visit it — he spent the day as a cadet in the Air Force.

He started out by meeting Major Art Dulin at the 557th Flying Training Squad. Many of the cadets get their first crack at aviation at the training squad en route to becoming pilots.

The trainers had a flight suit ready for him, including with his name badge. Of course, our fashionable captain kept the collar popped up.
