New Avalanche forward Brandon Duhaime’s path to the NHL was a winding one, but Colorado College coach Kris Mayotte played a critical role in his development.
Minnesota Wild left wing Matt Boldy and Colorado Avalanche right wing Brandon Duhaime in the first period of an NHL hockey game Friday, March 8, 2024, in Denver. Locke Mayotte will be one of the unexpected winners after the Colorado Avalanche’s flurry of moves before the NHL trade deadline earlier this month.
“I love Dewey,” Kris Mayotte said. “Such a great kid, such a hard worker, very dedicated, doesn’t leave a stone unturned in terms of him trying to become the best player he can become. Duhaime had interest from Boston College and Michigan, but ultimately chose Providence over the University of Denver.
“He was always a sponge,” Mayotte said. “Wanted to watch the video, wanted any tip that you could possibly give him, whether it was diet, whether it was skills, whether it didn’t matter — he wanted it.
