Matt Rempe training with Chris Kreider amid quest for bigger Rangers role
NY Post
You can measure Matt Rempe’s commitment to improve off of this sentence — “I’m going to stay right here and train with Kreids the rest of the summer”— and the tale of the tape might even exceed the 6-foot-8 ¹/₂ inches the 22-year-old winger stands.
Because volunteering to train with Chris Kreider in Connecticut until camp opens the third week of September is the equivalent of signing up for boot camp. This is not for the faint of heart or the weak of character. This is serious business. This is a work regimen for those who dare to be the best versions of themselves.
“I want to go in there, earn a role, go in there, take strides from last year and go into camp, work my bag off every day and show them I can be an effective player and show that I’ve taken big steps from last season,” Rempe said Thursday before participating in the Shoulder Check Showcase mental health initiative at Terry Conners Rink in Stamford. “I’ve got to earn it, I have to earn everything. I’m excited to do that.”
Rempe was one of up to couple of dozen NHL players at this second annual event to take the pledge to check in on teammates, joining those such as Kreider, Johathan Quick, Trevor Zegras, Ryan Strome, Kevin Shattenkirk, Kevin Hayes, Frank Vatrano and Sonny Milano.
“Quickie shot me a text to come out, then a couple of hours later Kreids shot me a text and then [strength and conditioning consultant] Ben Prentiss shot me a text so I said, ‘Oh, I’m getting a lot of texts, so I’d better come out,’ ” Rempe said of his participation in the event honoring Hayden Thorsen. “That’s how it came about.
“It’s extremely important to check in on everyone. Taking care of your loved ones is the most important thing in the world.”
