Cody Almond Responds from Wild Camp


I've asked some of the nine Rockets players attending NHL training camps to send me their thoughts following games during a Prospects Tournament in Traverse City.

Rockets forward Cody Almond, a draft pick of the Minnesota Wild, is the first to share his thoughts on day one.

"Today we started our tournament playing 4 games and 4 practices in five days. This tournament is very intense and very fast paced. We practiced in the morning at 8:30 and played at 3:30 against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Unfortunately we lost in a shootout, but the team played well. I had the opportunity to see all the other guys from the Rockets in their NHL gear and the boys look great! The rink is alot like C-N-C with two ice surfaces. It's a great atmosphere and a very fun and exciting tournament to play in."
