Sean Behrens Got A Taste of Pro Hockey, And Is Ready For More

DENVER, CO – Times have been good for Colorado Avalanche prospect Sean Behrens at Denver University. How could you top two National Championships in three years? Well, I guess he could have gone for the three-peat, but no need to be greedy. At some point, it’s time for a new challenge, and for Behrens, that new challenge is professional hockey.

Colorado’s second round pick in 2021 signed his entry-level contract on April 19, and managed to sneak into a few games with the Colorado Eagles at the end of the season. Just being able to be around professionals and take everything in was a great experience for the 21 year old.

“I think it was great to get up there and play the games but also just be around that team,” Behrens said after day one of Development Camp. “They had a lot of guys, like Brad Hunt, Keaton Middleton, guys that are really good to learn from who are really good with their details. Just being up and being around those guys was something that I really appreciated.”

Behrens got into two games. One of them was in the regular season, and one was in the playoffs, so not nearly enough of a sample size to get a real idea of how he fits at the pro level.

Even though it was just two games, he took a few things from them that he can work on over the summer.
