Colorado Avalanche Superstar Nathan MacKinnon Practicing with Friends

Colorado Avalanche superstar Nathan MacKinnon is renowned for his off-season training. He’s long been a client of trainer Andy O’Brien, a man who works his clients to beyond perfect their game. O’Brien focuses down to the muscular level to get his clients to their peak performance.

Well, MacKinnon was introduced to O’Brien by one of the trainer’s most famous clients, Pittsburgh Penguins superstar Sidney Crosby. He and MacKinnon both grew up in Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia. Of course, Crosby is eight years older than Nate, so they didn’t really grow up together.

Nonetheless, Crosby took his fellow Nova Scotian superstar under his wing, and MacKinnon has more than prospered.
