And It Begins

And so the 2009-10 New York Ranger year begins at 9:30 AM on Sunday when the Traverse City roster hits the ice for a practice prior to facing the Carolina Hurricane prospects at 3 PM. This group of prospects is one of the most talented that the Rangers have had in years and it is not including 4 of the best prospects who are attending college.

For the Rangers, Traverse City provides a great opportunity for the prospects to show the coaching staff how well they worked on the things that they were asked to over the summer. Winning the tournament is a nice bonus but the real goal is to get a good look at the kids to judge how far they have come.
