T.J. Hughes Debuts with Avalanche | Colorado Avalanche News

T.J. Hughes, Colorado Avalanche’s 24-year-old undrafted forward, makes his debut at the NHLPA Rookie Showcase in Chicago — his first time suiting up in an Avalanche jersey on ice. The event, now in its 16th year, is where top prospects get their official photos, learn the business of hockey, and connect with fans. Hughes, who wore 13 in college and with the Eagles, is expected to keep that number after the Avalanche traded Valeri Nichushkin. With a solid pro resume already under his belt, this showcase marks a pivotal step in his NHL journey. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
