Rangers Make Signing With New ECHL Team Official!!

 According to The NYR Blog the New York Rangers and Greenville Road Warriors have made it official and joined together.  They will most likely host between 7-10 players as the Rangers ECHL affiliate.  I did a post earlier about this possibility if you would like to check it out.  Here is some of what they had to say:

"We are pleased and excited to begin this affiliation with an organization as dedicated to winning and developing young talent as the Greenville Road Warriors," said Jim Schoenfeld, Assistant General Manager, Player Personnel, Assistant Coach, New York Rangers and General Manager Hartford Wolf Pack. "Having this relationship with the Road Warriors will enable the Rangers to have our prospects play in an environment that will allow them to develop and progress as professionals within an experienced and dedicated organization."
