With the start of a brand new hockey season, the excitement in the air can be overwhelming for fans of all 31 teams, especially those with serious aspirations of a potential Stanley Cup victory.
This can be said too for New York Rangers fans, who hope a deep group of young and veteran forwards, to go along with a revamped defense and one of the best goaltenders of all-time, can carry the Blueshirts for their first Stanley Cup since 1994.
And while plenty of attention should be placed on the present for the New York Rangers, there should be some given for the future Rangers, and many of those are currently residing in Hartford, Connecticut, as the Rangers’ American Hockey League affiliate, the Hartford Wolf Pack, get ready for a new season of their own.
