ARLINGTON, Va. -- Matt Rempe wants to be a smarter fighter and a better hockey player as he enters his first full NHL season with the New York Rangers.
The 6-foot-9 forward was a sensation last season, amassing 71 penalty minutes in 17 regular-season games through a series of energetic fights. Rangers fans would chant his name even when he wasn't on the ice.
"It seems like a dream. They're the best fans in the world. You want to go to battle for them every single time," said Rempe, speaking at the NHLPA rookie showcase on Wednesday.
