The first day of New York Islanders rookie camp gave fans an early look at Kashawn Aitcheson, and the defenseman didn’t disappoint. Right away, he felt the pace of NHL life. “Yeah, obviously it was uh super high intensity. Everyone's competing. Everyone's giving it their best. So, it was a lot of fun,” Aitcheson said after stepping off the ice.
While he’s still new to the organization, Aitcheson senses the shift happening on Long Island. “I think obviously there's so many great players on the current roster now and I think the young guys are just trying to learn from them and learn from all the coaching staff here and just kind of take it one day at a time.
