Earlier this summer, Edmonton Oilers winger Taylor Hall got his first taste of coaching, at the Allstate All-Canadians National Mentorship Camp, as he led his team of 14- and 15-year-olds into battle versus John Tavares and his contingent of Bantam-aged players.
While Team Tavares captured the 2012 Mentorship Cup team, everyone involved came away better for the experience. Before Hall returned to rehabbing his injured shoulder, Ken Campbell sat down with the budding star for a feature in the autumn issue of THN's hockey lifestyle magazine, Fully Loaded, and THNTV was there.
In the second installment of the three-part interview (Watch Part 1 and Part 3) Campbell and Hall discuss interacting with fans, his unique relationship with Tavares and more.
