The New York Rangers are just a little over a month away from training camp which is expected to open around 9/21 or 9/23. This upcoming season, the Blueshirts prospects will not partake in the Traverse City Tournament.
Another important and still undecided factor is the recently released 2021-22 regular season schedule has not finalized. The NHL included a two-week pause from Feb. 7-22 to allow its players to participate in the Olympics. While the break is scheduled, the league, the NHL Players’ Association and the International Ice Hockey Federation still must reach an agreement on issues regarding player participation, which include COVID-19 insurance.
