Home in Slovenia, far from Penguins, prospect Drozg trains however he can

There's no ice right now in Jan Drozg's hometown of Maribor, Slovenia.

The closest rink with ice is a two-hour drive away in the town of Bled.

With the rinks shut down due to coronavirus in the spring, and the long commute now that a rink is open, ice time is hard to come by for Drozg over the summer. Last week was the first time he stepped on the ice since the AHL season shut down in March, and he doesn't anticipate being on the ice again for a few more weeks.

"It was different," Drozg told me of his first time back on the ice last week.
