William Dufour is at home now. Resting, relaxing, waiting. It’s a rare moment between whirlwinds.
On Wednesday night, Dufour watched a puck slide into an empty net and danced around the ice in Saint John, New Brunswick with the Memorial Cup — the trophy awarded to Canada’s junior hockey champion — and the tournament MVP. Soon enough, he’ll fly from Quebec to New York to join the Islanders for a development camp at which he will be an unlikely center of attention.
“The elite part of him is his shot,” Sea Dogs interim coach Gardiner MacDougall told The Post. “He can get to spots, he’s got a great release. I think for a big guy, his first three steps are really fast.”When MacDougall replaced Gordie Dwyer as coach on May 22, he started playing Dufour at center instead of exclusively on the wing, showing him clips of Auston Matthews to help develop his game in all three zones.
Whether Dufour begins next season with AHL Bridgeport or on Long Island is an open question, a testament to how much his stock has risen.
