PRINCE GEORGE — Eight days after his hit heard around the hockey world on Connor McDavid, Vancouver Canuck top prospect Jake Virtanen was on the receiving end of a pretty good jolt this morning from Dane Fox on the second day of the National Hockey League team’s training camp.
The weekend camp is so instruction-heavy, it seems at times coaches are trying to cram a semester of Xs and Os into two practices and a Sunday scrimmage. The collision between Fox and Virtanen stood out because there have been so few noteworthy hits.
“Yeah, Dane gave me one there,” Virtanen said.
