a veteran player. We recently
examined that transition of two-
time Stanley Cup winner Ian Cole,
who joins the upstart Colorado
Avalanche this season.

That's a wrap from Saint Paul, Minn., where
Team Langenbrunner (white) skated past Team
Leopold (blue), 6-4, in the 2018 All-American
Prospects Game. The seventh annual event
featured 42 of the best U.S.-born players
eligible for the 2019 NHL Draft.
Powered by the #51in30
initiative, USA Hockey is
investing a lot of effort into
developing those that tend
the twine. It's paying off,
according to Hall of Fame
netminder Mike Richter.
