Avalanche.nhl.comSince the NHL paused on March 12, players haven't been able to practice or skate. The most they can really do in self-isolation is workout, which can keep them physically fit but that's not the same as being game ready. Virtual reality training isn't a substitute for on-ice work either, but it's something Francouz can do to keep himself a little closer to where he'll need to be should the campaign resume. It's a tool to train his brain and keep his reflexes sharp. "One such practice unit is that you look at different shapes, blinking several ways and as quickly as possible you have to choose one of the rankings options that is correct," Francouz said. "So you have to use your memory and quick decisions at the same time. Then there are different games. Like when you have a bat in your hand and there are four spots from which a ball can get to you. The ball is slowing down, speeding up ... And one teammate is showing up. So you have to hit the ball that gets to you from different spots and send it to the place where the teammate showed up. This has all been made to model sport situations for your brain. And it really is able to stimulate your brain so I think it is really helpful."
