The 7-year-old Travis Boyd would have been blown away that the 31-year-old Travis Boyd got to stand in skates while wearing a Minnesota Wild practice sweater in front of a Wild backdrop Wednesday morning.

Boyd has been able to live at home with his family in Edina during camp, a rare luxury, and was feeling good about his camp so far ahead of Wednesday night’s game — his second game of any kind since completing a long, arduous rehabilitation process.

Former Gophers standout Travis Boyd is trying to make the Wild after playing for the Coyotes last season. As far as commutes go, this is the shortest Travis Boyd has had to travel to get to an NHL training camp.
