Traverse City – Minnesota Wild
Meant to get some posts up related to the Traverse City tournament (sadly not actually there) yesterday and earlier today, but had some major issues with the blog on the admin side.
The Minnesota Wild ended up leading the Western division of the tournament (also included St. Louis, Columbus & Dallas). The Wild’s coverage of the tournament can be found here (see links in the article’s sidebar). One of the Wild’s 15 ATOs in the camp was Tyler Johnson (earlier blog gallery). The Wild’s GM said “He’s shown tremendous hockey sense. He’s been quick. He’s been smart. He’s been poised. And he’s drawn a few penalties with his intensity. He’s been a real factor in the 72 shots we’ve had. With smaller players, you never give them the benefit of the doubt. They have to prove it.” Johnson has been invited to the Wild’s training camp.
