There's going to come a day in the not-too-distant future when St. Louis Blues prospect Dalibor Dvorsky will be exhibiting his skills in the Gateway City.

The 19-year-old took part in the Inglasco Puck Control Relay, the Silvercrest Accuracy Shooting, the Silvercrest Pass and Score, and the Upper Deck Breakaway Relay.
