Camp, Day 1: Distracted

Still trying to focus through the stunning news from last night. It’s not easy.

Anyway, while I watch my alma mater sink:

–It began. Lots and lots of skating drills; lots of pure skating. In fact, no one-on-ones at all. Good pace, pretty good flow. Looked like everyone made it through OK. They’ll swap off tomorrow: Group II goes at 10, followed by Group I.

–Lots of trying to sort out faces. I’m no good at it. One familiar face: Gregg Johnson, who’s playing with his brother Keith for basically the first time. They played against each other a few times in college.

Keith Aucoin is among those sent to Albany today.
