Sunday Notes: Avs prospects Byram, Barron and Newhook in action
Happy Sunday. Believe it or not, you can watch top Avs prospects Justin Barron, Bo Byram and Alex Newhook play hockey tonight. Well, maybe. It depends on what the coaches decide.
But there will be an intrasquad game for the Team Canada World Junior Selection Camp tonight, and you can watch it online by clicking here. It starts at 6 mountain.ย Byram and Barron played in the first intrasquad game (there are three scheduled). (UPDATE: Newhook is still in quarantine until Tuesday. Forgot about that lol).

- I’m still really torn on how I feel about the NHL likely having only inter-division play for the next regular season – if there is one. But, I guess at this point, I’m just hoping to see any hockey at all. It seems like we’ll get one – I talked to a high-ranking NHL official a couple days ago who is optimistic we’ll have a season, and starting some time in January – but seeing the same six opponents all the time? Yeah, 2020 I guess.
