Canucks camp is underway: McDonough kicks things off with a snipe show
Hockey is back, everyone and the Canucks have started off on fire. The team's rookie camp is taking place in Penticton, and they currently hold a 2-0 lead over the Flames' Prospect.
Jeremy Colliton is on the bench to lead the team, and he places an ''experienced'' lineup out there with players that have already participated in a few NHL games:
That experience is currently paying off; one of the team's top prospects, Aidan McDonough, absolutely showed his dominance and put on a snipe show during one of the team's power-play. He got the defender down and ripped it home in style:
McDonough was fortunate enough to join the Canucks at the end of the 2022-2023 campaign and featured in some games. He's found a knack for scoring against the Flames since he also had his first NHL goal against them. He had the opportunity to feature in 6 games last season, but with the Canucks' depth on the wings, it seems as if he'll be getting some time down in Abbotsford this year.
