The Colorado Avalanche are masters at keeping their training camp details secret. However, rookie camp is basically concluded, and the veterans who are participating in the World Cup of Hockey have already reported for captain’s practice.
That said, the Avalanche veterans don’t officially report for physicals until Thursday, according to the Denver Post. Training camp proper opens Friday and runs for two days, culminating in the Burgundy and White scrimmage on Sunday.
Two days. When I first read that, I was amazed. Back in the day, training camp went on for weeks. Even in recent years, though, training camp goes at least three days, sometimes four.
