ROSTERS

nyr The Rangers released a listing of who’s been invited to training camp. No real surprises except for the name of Kyle McLaren, who the Wolf Pack saw last season as a member of the Worcester Sharks. In all likelihood, McLaren will be living and playing in the Connecticut capital for much of the season. When you see that he is 6’4” and 219 pounds and he likes to drop the mitts, it just reinforces the theory that much more that this season’s Wolf Pack roster will be comprised of the hardest hitting and toughest team that has ever laced them up in the “Insurance Capital of the World.”

 

Here’s the Official Training Camp roster as released by the organization:
