Hockey is back....kind of. Training camps opened on Monday as teams prepare for the play-in round and the playoffs that will follow. It's been wonderful to see our favourite players take the ice again because it's always special to watch the best players in the world practice their craft.

The Colorado Avalanche have more than a few incredible players on their roster and two of them, Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen, put on a tip-in display that every hockey fan will find satisfying to watch.
