Avs forward Evan Rodrigues has made a strong impression in Denver, compiling 26 points in 42 games. He’s also developing a new tradition with his young sons.
There are about 30 pucks sitting on the kitchen counter, and Evan and Christie Rodrigues don’t know what to do with them.
It helps to register 26 points in 42 games, as Rodrigues has. His role has ranged from top-line wing to middle-six center, helping the Avs fill any given gaps. But part of his presence in the Colorado consciousness has also been a result of his home pregame ritual, which is displayed on the jumbotron every night.
“It’s funny,” said Evan’s wife, Christie. “They’ve drawn a lot of attention, and it was totally accidental and organic.” But Grayson eventually got hooked by osmosis. Evan was new in Pittsburgh when COVID-19 arrived, halting the 2019-20 season. “He was just about 2 and starting to socialize,” Christie remembers. Suddenly, socializing was taboo, and the only way to be around people was when the NHL started back up with no fans. Families were allowed.
Grayson started wanting to go to warm-ups every game. His excitement was too cute to say no. The pucks started piling up. The family has a mini-stick room in the basement, complete with boards and a rug that replicates a rink. Most days, Grayson chooses one of the warm-up pucks and brings it downstairs to play with Dad. Sometimes the boys go to the Avalanche’s practice rink to skate after the team is done.
