The Colorado Avalanche hit the ice for the first day of training camp and there is a lot to talk about from the day.

My DNVR colleague Bailey Curtis and I will have more in-depth pieces as the week goes on, but I’ve been writing training camp notebooks and takeaways for over a decade. I might as well keep doing them, right?

To start us off, let’s look at the groups for the day:

Cale Makar was listed as the extra defenseman in his group, but he was wearing a red (non-contact) jersey. He participated in a couple of the early drills before sitting out the competitive portions of the session.

I’ll sort my thoughts by groups, so let’s get into it.
