In the two-a-day fashion of football, forward Tyson Jost and 23 other Avalanche prospects began the on-ice portion of development camp Wednesday. The Avs had three 45-minute morning skates before a full-group, hour-long afternoon workout session at Family Sports Center.
Despite the lack of a scrimmage, Jost felt giddy to don a practice sweater while briefly forgetting he was given an Avalanche game jersey by general manager and Hockey Hall of Famer Joe Sakic inside the team’s Pepsi Center locker room June 27, three days after being selected No. 10 overall in the NHL draft. Jost said wearing the practice sweater was “amazing” and a lifetime achievement.
