Warriors Representing in Traverse City

Dylan McIlrath, Quinton Howden and Tony Honejsek are on their way to NHL camps. Best of luck to them all. Former Warrior Jason Bast will be heading to Traverse City with the Rangers.

Here's a bit more about Ranger Camp:

FROM NY RANGERS.COM
The annual prospect tournament is scheduled to begin on Sept. 11, when the Rangers’ prospects face-off against the Columbus Blue Jackets’ prospects. This marks the fifth consecutive year that a team of Rangers prospects will be going to Traverse City for the eight-team tournament.


A group of 23 prospects will represent the Rangers next month at the annual Traverse City Prospects Tournament, which the Blueshirts won in 2007. Nineteen of the 22 members of the 2010 roster are players whose NHL rights are currently owned by the Rangers. Eleven players are Rangers draftees from the past two years, while eight others have already signed their first NHL contracts with the team.

Seventeen of the 22 players participated in the Rangers’ annual Prospect Development Camp earlier this summer. This includes 2010 draft picks Dylan McIlrath, Christian Thomas, Andrew Yogan, Jason Wilson and Randy McNaught.

Forward Evgeny Grachev, the Rangers’ 2008 third round selection, will be returning to the tournament for the third straight season. He will be joined by fellow 2008 third round draft pick, defenseman Tomas Kundratek, who was a member of the Rangers’ Traverse City team last summer.

Five players from the 2009 draft class – forwards Ryan Bourque, Ethan Werek and Roman Horak, defenseman Daniel Maggio and goaltender Scott Stajcer – are also back from the 2009 team, as is defenseman Sam Klassen.

Competing in the tournament’s “Gretzky Division”, the Rangers will play round-robin games against Carolina, Columbus and Minnesota, beginning with the Sept. 11 tilt against Columbus’ prospects. Their placement in the round-robin will determine who they face in the championship round that concludes the tournament.

If you had a chance to check out the new website today, you may be asking yourself.... uhhh, it hasn't changed. With all the big changes and new servers and so on, sometimes the old site is still appearing. Still a work in progress but the website will soon be looking great!

Warriors take on the Blades tomorrow night at the Crushed Can. Likely in the lineup before he heads to Atlanta is Kendall McFaull. Out of the line up: Howden, Frazee, Edwards, McIlrath, & Honejsek.

Will post the line up a little later!
