Recently Colorado Avalanche beat writer Mike Chambers wrote an article about Tyson Jost. Chambers posed an interesting proposition — Colorado’s 10th-overall pick from last summer is likely to sign a professional contract with Colorado this spring.
Currently Jost is playing college hockey for the University of North Dakota, a high-level NCAA team. He also just tore it up for Team Canada in the World Juniors. Playing for UND is a dream for Jost because it’s the route his idol, Jonathan Toews, took.
Chambers’ rationale for saying Jost will sign this spring with the Avalanche is that Colorado is in desperate need of help.
