AHL Talk with Texas Stars Forward and Dallas Stars Prospect Riley Tufte

This season has been crazy left and right with changes to the NHL schedule, NHL season plans, and even NHL rosters. But what about the AHL? The American Hockey League is the minor league affiliate to the NHL, and each team has a respective affiliate where their prospects play and can be called up at anytime to make their big break with their NHL club. We are joined by Riley Tufte - a forward for the Texas Stars and 1st Round Draft pick for the Dallas Stars who is now developing in the AHL. Riley chats with us about how he got to the major leagues, from his hockey development, time in college, and the intense training, as well as what the AHL season has been like in COVID-19. The AHL COVID-19 protocol has been similar to the NHL, but the playoffs were greatly effected. The AHL will not be playing for their version of the Stanley Cup, called the Calder Cup, and has changed how they will hold their playoff run. All of this and more as we sit down with Riley Tufte!
