He took part in the on-ice agility drills, pushed through the fitness test, and got an initiation of sorts from defenceman Darnell Nurse at the end of the day.
“I wasn’t picking on him,” Nurse said. “But it’s his first camp ... let him get it.”
“It was all in good fun,” said McDavid, who was singled out by Nurse as the first star of the practice session. His reward was a quick, solitary lap around the rink.
