For those who work in the NHL, rookie camp is among the most exciting parts of the summer.
It's not that people particularly look forward to sitting in cold rinks, watching a bunch of 20-something-year-old NHL hopefuls practice. It's not that they're keen on watching said rookies play other teams' young guns on a glorified LiveBarn feed.
It's that it marks the beginning of the new season. In other words, rookie camp marks the end of the summer — and the beginning of the grind.
Immediately after it ends, training camp begins. Soon, teams are playing preseason games, after which the regular-season grind begins. If your team is lucky, there's playoff hockey after that. There's hardly a moment to rest, and that's exactly how they like it.
But rookie camp is different this year.
