Well, that was fun, wasn’t it?
Since it was introduced three years ago, the annual 4-on-4 tournament has become an entertaining and almost fitting way to end Blue Jackets development camp. All week long, these kids take part in on-ice drills, do some educational and fun activities away from the rink, and then take it to the big stage for an open-ice tournament in front of a jam-packed OhioHealth Ice Haus.
Oh and by the way…the entire coaching staff and management team are watching. No pressure.
But the truth is, there isn’t much pressure on the prospects during the tournament.
