As the hockey calendar advances to the 2024-25 season, prospects within NHL organizations persistently make progress towards their ultimate aspiration: making valuable contributions to their respective NHL teams.

Defenseman Christoffer Sedoff sees his return to Golden Knights Development Camp, presented by Martin-Harris Construction, as a chance to further pursue his goals.

Last year, Sedoff wrapped up his inaugural season as a professional player in Nevada. Throughout the season, he actively participated in 46 games on behalf of the Henderson Silver Knights, the AHL affiliate of the Golden Knights. During this period, he showcased his skills by accumulating 10 points, consisting of 10 assists and no goals.

Sedoff expressed his belief that he made progress in his game, despite the unfortunate absence of the Silver Knights in the playoffs. He expressed hope to carry this momentum into the summer and be prepared for camp in the fall.

Sedoff has taken the initiative to dedicate his entire summer to improving as a player before he heads to training camp in September.

He stated that becoming stronger and more explosive during the summer will ensure that one is prepared and physically capable for the upcoming season. Additionally, he emphasized the importance of focusing on improving skating skills as it greatly contributes to his overall performance. He expressed the desire to enhance defensive abilities, believing that attention to detail in this aspect not only increases personal productivity but also aids in team success. Reflecting on his previous year’s experience, he acknowledged the constant message from the team’s officials about the necessity of personal growth as a player to continually progress in one’s career. Furthermore, he stressed the significance of contributing to the team’s development as a crucial component of individual improvement.

Sedoff’s tenure with the Silver Knights profoundly influenced his determination to enhance the team’s performance, both during training camp and in the future. During his initial season as a professional player, Sedoff heavily relied on the guidance and expertise of Jake Bischoff, a seasoned AHL defenseman and team captain. As he now embarks on the development camp, Sedoff aims to leverage his newfound experience to assist and mentor other prospects within the organization.

He stated the significance of having a year of professional experience. He acknowledged that many individuals may feel anxious since it is their first time in this setting. Hence, he aims to assist them to the best of his abilities and demonstrate the drills on the ice to those who are unfamiliar. As he has grown accustomed to some of the drills, he finds it beneficial. He believes this is a crucial aspect of constant improvement each year.
