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."
I wish the Rangers would bring an AHL or ECHL to the Brooklyn or NY area kind of like the Brooklyn Cyclones or something. Would be great to see our young stars grow right in front of us.
ReplyDeleteTrue I would go crazy if they brought a minor league team 2 Brooklyn. That would be amazing!!
ReplyDeleteWow if they brought a minor league team to brooklyn, me and you would have to go to every game Kevin. Well atleast on the night's we aren't at Rangers games!
ReplyDeleteYeah and we could sit on the glass cause the tix's would be cheap! But it will never happen unless they bring a team into the new nets building for there AHL team which is possible I guess!
