Gary Makar: His “other” son may make the Avs look like “geniuses” some day

What is it like to be a father with two sons having now been drafted by the same NHL team, the Colorado Avalanche, including one who just signed a six-year, $54 million contract? Not too bad, Gary Makar confirmed to Colorado Hockey Now.

“It’s been another ‘pinch me’ moment for all of us, that’s for sure,” Makar said on a phone call Monday afternoon. “We’re a family that keeps it pretty even-keeled no matter the situation, but Cale was bouncing off the walls quite a bit the other night.”
