Denver Broncos Quarterback Competition Emerges

As owner and personal trainer with Mile High Nutrition and Fitness, Alex Garbiso engages with clients throughout the Aurora, Colorado, community. A sports enthusiast, Alex Garbiso participates in fantasy leagues and is a supporter of the Colorado Avalanche and Denver Broncos.

As reported in ESPN, one key aspect of the Broncos offseason program is a mandatory minicamp that allows players to compete for slots on the team. With the team having achieved greatness under John Elway and Peyton Manning, the quarterback is central to the Broncos’ legacy and a key competition is between Paxton Lynch and Trevor Siemian.

Joking that he is “putting gum in Lynch’s shoes” to make him late for practice, Siemian emphasized that both he and his fellow quarterback are young and supportive of each other. With both players in good health and with excellent form for the early offseason, the Broncos are in the enviable position of having two excellent starting quarterback candidates to choose from.

Denver Broncos Draft Offensive Tackle Garett Bolles

A former Junior A hockey player, Alexander "Alex" Garbiso is an Onnit-certified trainer and the owner of Mile High Nutrition and Fitness. When he isn't helping clients reach their health goals, Alex Garbiso enjoys following his favorite National Football League (NFL) team, the Denver Broncos.

Seeking to improve its offensive line, the Broncos drafted offensive tackle Garett Bolles with the 20th overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. Last season, Denver gave up the ninth-most quarterback sacks (40) in the 32-team league, and the addition of Bolles should greatly improve the team's ability to protect its quarterback. The 24-year-old was an elite run blocker at the University of Utah and is expected to start on the left side for the Broncos, while Menelik Watson and Donald Stephenson will battle for playing time on the right side.

A former five-star college recruit, Bolles completed the 40-yard dash at the NFL combine in just 4.95 seconds, which is impressive given his 6-foot-5, 297-pound frame. He started 13 games for Utah in 2016 and earned First-team All-Conference honors.

Avalanche Rookie Tyson Jost Scores First Career Goal

A certified personal trainer and nutritionist, Alexander “Alex” Garbiso works with clients through Mile High Nutrition and Fitness, which he opened in 2015. A former Junior A hockey player in Canada, Alex Garbiso is an avid fan of the National Hockey League's (NHL) Colorado Avalanche. 

An otherwise disappointing season for the Avalanche presented an opportunity for 19-year-old Tyson Jost, who scored his first career NHL goal in an April 6 game against the Minnesota Wild. The goal evoked a loud cheer from the Avalanche crowd as well as tears of joy from his grandfather, who was shown on the arena's big screen. 

Selected 10th overall in the 2016 NHL Draft, Jost was signed by Colorado following the completion of his freshman season with the University of North Dakota, for which he scored 16 goals and added 19 assists in 33 games. He was named to the National Collegiate Hockey Conference All-Rookie Team and earned a silver medal with Canada at the U20 World Junior Championships in January. With the Avalanche, Jost played in the team's final six games of the season and averaged over 14 minutes of ice timer per game.

The Colorado Avalanche's Gabriel Landeskog

Alex Garbiso is a personal trainer at his company called Mile High Nutrition and Fitness in Denver, Colorado. A Junior A hockey player in Canada, his favorite NHL team is the Colorado Avalanche.

In 2012, Gabriel Landeskog was named the captain of the Colorado Avalanche and became the NHL’s youngest captain ever at 19 years and 286 days. Selected number two overall in the 2011 NHL draft, he delivered immediately by becoming only the third Swedish-born player to win the Calder Cup award for the best rookie in the league. In the same season, he also was the third rookie to ever score 20 goals and to notch more than 200 body checks.

The 6’1”, 215-pound left wing plays a very physical game, and he is considered an excellent two-way forward. In 2014, he signed a seven-year, $39 million-dollar contract with the team, which gives him a cap hit of $5,571,429. For charity, Landeskog has been active in an anti-bullying campaign, and he has worked with a foundation called EMPWR to promote concussion awareness.

Avalanche Sign Barrie to Four-Year Deal

Based in Aurora, Colorado, Alexander Garbiso owns and manages Mile High Nutrition and Fitness, and is also a personal trainer who works with clients on an independent basis. Outside his work life, Alexander Garbiso is a hockey fan and follows the Colorado Avalanche.

Tyson Barrie and the Colorado Avalanche have agreed to terms on a four-year, $22 million contract. Under the the new deal, Barrie’s salary will progressively increase over the life of the contract, with the defenseman earning $5 million, $5.25 million, $5.75 million and $6 million over the next four years. Barrie will count $5.5 million against the the Avalanche’s annual salary cap.

The team went through salary arbitration proceedings with Barrie in the offseason - the only contract negotiation to actually reach the arbitration phase - but the two sides were able to reach a deal shortly before arbitrator Elizabeth Neumeier announced her ruling.

Barrie expressed relief that a deal was able to be completed and also expressed appreciation that the Avalanche had shown enough faith in him to offer him a four-year deal.
