When William Dufour sat down with his trainer at the start of the summer, one item was at the top of the agenda.
After the summer of 2022 amounted to an abbreviated offseason, with Dufour playing in the Memorial Cup and the COVID-affected World Junior Championships, this was his first chance since he turned pro to put some down time to use.“What do we want to improve? I said my skating, my explosiveness, my first step,” Dufour recalled Thursday.
In a battle drill on Friday, he blew past Aidan Fulp, showing the sort of burst the Islanders would like to see more often. He also has a year’s worth of familiarity with the organization, compared to last year when he had signed an entry-level deal going into the summer and came to development camp not knowing what to expect.
