Adam Sykora seeking to turn ‘infectious’ energy into production that leads to Rangers spot
NY Post
Adam Sykora’s trip back to the Rangers’ player development camp got off to a slow start.
Sykora, the team’s second-round pick (No. 63) in the 2022 NHL Draft, was missing his gear.
It got lost at the airport during his travels back to New York, and he was forced to wear Kaapo Kakko’s skates and borrow equipment from the team.
But after his gear was sorted, Sykora was his old self, providing an authentic source of energy that he’s become known for.
“There were some problems, but it is what it is,” Sykora said with a laugh on Wednesday. “[The coaches] were really happy with me. I didn’t have my gear, but I think they said it was a very good camp for me, and I feel the same way. It was a good start for next season.”
That youthful energy is what most sticks out when watching Sykora — both on and off the ice.
