Cale Makar Stays Busy Ahead of Contract Extension with Unique Summer Job

As superstar defenseman Cale Makar awaits the signing of his much-anticipated contract extension with the Colorado Avalanche, he’s found a way to stay engaged this summer. Teaming up with PWHL star Hilary Knight, Makar recently showcased some hockey gear from Bauer in a video. Among the interesting details revealed, Makar shared that he switches out his skates every four to five games, a testament to his commitment to performance and comfort on the ice.

In addition to Makar’s off-ice endeavors, fans should mark their calendars, as rumors suggest that the NHL trade deadline is set for Monday, March 1st next year. This adjustment aligns with the NHL’s new schedule, which sees the regular season beginning and concluding earlier than in previous years.

The summer has also seen a flurry of activity among former Avalanche players securing new roles. Stanley Cup champion Jack Johnson is making a move from the Vancouver Canucks organization to contribute to the women’s hockey program at Ohio State. Meanwhile, Andrew Agozzino has announced his retirement from professional hockey but is not stepping away from the sport entirely. He is set to join the Tucson Roadrunners staff after finishing his playing career with the Utah Mammoth.
