Pajpach was injured by a teammate

As we informed you on Monday, Maximilian Pajpach didn't travel to Denver for the rookie camp.

According to Igor Bielcik of Sport Invest Hockey that represents Pajpach, it won't be a problem for his client to be ready soon. „Max is hard working player and very talented. His goalie coach told me about his hard work. We can see a movement in his skills after weeks of practising,“ said his hockey agent.
Young Slovak goalie suffered lower body injury and he will miss the start of a new season. He is under a supervision of both Finnish and US doctors. Max is one of four youngest Avalanche's goalies who are top talents in the organization for the future. His time will come after the contract in Finland will expire in two years. Then he will be able to try it overseas. „I want to make good impression on Finnish and Colorado executives to make my dream to play in the NHL true,“ said Pajpach.
