They posed in their jerseys on the ice of the Medstar Capitals Iceplex training hall in Washington, and their photos will be part of the official Upper Deck trading cards. The official website nhl.com informed. The players spent their day on and off the ice, signed dozens of promotional materials and briefly introduced themselves on the ice. “It’s quite difficult to give out so many signatures, but it’s fun. But I take it positively, because during the event you can meet other guys and spend time together. We took some photos, I liked it,” said Slafkovský. Your own hockey card? The historically highest-drafted Slovak in the NHL said that he is not sure how to feel when he will soon have his own card: “It depends on how my face will look,” remarked the Montreal player. However, he also admitted that in his childhood he was a bigger fan of football than hockey cards.

It was all part of the relaxed atmosphere that lasted from on Monday evening, when the players also played golf. Wright’s rival was also at the photoshoot Forward Shane Wright, who was drafted by the Seattle Kraken from the 4th place, was also in Washington: “In a few days I’m leaving for the camp in Seattle. Just putting on the socks to match the jersey makes me feel that this is a reality. And it’s really great,” the Canadian explained his feelings before the training camp.
