Jay Beagle showing fitness, leadership at Vancouver Canucks training camp
WHISTLER, B.C. — The NHL season has yet to begin, but Jay Beagle is already making an impression on his Vancouver Canucks teammates.
The 32-year-old centre’s speed, fitness and leadership all turned heads at training camp in Whistler, B.C., this weekend.
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen a professional athlete like that before in real life,” said Adam Gaudette, who played five games with the Canucks last year and is competing for a spot on this season’s roster.
“It’s pretty cool to come in see. I’m just trying to watch what he does on and off the ice. … I’m just trying to emulate him as much as possible.”
