Tuesday marked the last day of the Colorado Avalanche 2018 Dad/Mentor Trip, and it was set up to be a busy one for the players and staffs' guests.

The fathers got an inside look at what the players go through during a road game day, beginning with a team breakfast at the Avs' downtown Nashville hotel. On the morning of every road contest, the players get together to grab a morning meal, chat with one another and talk about that evening's upcoming game. This time, they brought their parents along for breakfast.

The dads and mentors of the Colorado Avalanche players and staff had a busy day in Nashville on Monday.

The guests of the 2018 Avalanche Dad/Mentor Trip began their first full day in Music City by taking a short bus ride over to Bridgestone Arena from the hotel.

It was a travel day for the players, staff and their guests during the 2018 Colorado Avalanche dad/mentor trip to Nashville.

After Colorado defeated Dallas 3-2 on Saturday night, everyone was at the airport by noon for a 1 p.m. flight to the Music City.

Family members from across the globe journeyed to Pepsi Center on Saturday for the start of the 2018 Colorado Avalanche Dad/Mentor Trip.

It has been seven years since Colorado last hosted such an event, and this edition features dads/mentors of 18 players and 14 of coaches and staff joining the club for four days. The trip began with them watching the Avalanche take on the Dallas Stars in Denver on Saturday and concludes in Music City when the team takes on the Nashville Predators at Bridgestone Arena on Tuesday.

As the Colorado Avalanche coaches and players boarded the team bus to go to Chelsea Piers for their morning skate on Tuesday, much of the conversation revolved around Nathan MacKinnon and Kenyan hockey players.

"I couldn't look on social media yesterday without seeing Nate wearing Kenyan hockey player gear," one player commented. Another noted that they watched a video multiple times of MacKinnon surprising a team from eastern Africa.

Over the summer, Tim Hortons, the popular coffee and donut chain, flew the Kenya Ice Lions from Nairobi to Canada after learning that they had nobody to play a game against. They are the country's only hockey team.

Talk about a good week for Sheldon Dries.

Three days after making the Colorado Avalanche's season-opening roster and his NHL debut, Dries officially took himself off the market (sorry ladies). The 24-year-old proposed to his longtime girlfriend Emilee on Sunday during a hike at Eldorado Canyon State Park.

She said yes.

"It was a pretty long trail to get to a nice scenic spot," Dries recalled of the moment. "We are both very family-oriented people and both of our parents were here for opening weekend. I thought it would be very special for them to be a part of it and be part of the opportunity for me to propose. We got to a nice scenic spot, I said a few words, got down on one knee and asked the big question."

The Colorado Avalanche is on a three-game trip before the NHL All-Star Break over the weekend. The Avs makes their first journey to Canada with a back-to-back set against the Original Six Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens before finishing the trek in St. Louis against the division-rival Blues.

The first game of the Colorado Avalanche's three-game swing comes against the Toronto Maple Leafs, and the team woke up in the hockey-crazed city to fog and drizzling rain outside. The wintery weather has been a theme so far on this trip after the club left snowy Denver the previous day.
