CT Whale PR Guru Brian Ring tweeted out this video he took while attending Rangers development camp two weeks ago…
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBtZHLGSSrw&w=450&h=349]Bruce Berlett over at CTWhale.com has this quote from Dylan McIrath on what he learned from Whale Assistant coach J.J. Daigneault during his brief stint with the Rangers AHL affiliate at the end of the season…
“I was trying to pick his brain as much as I could on different aspects of the pro level and what I could do in the summer,” McIlrath said at the prospects camp. “It was an invaluable experience because the pace of the play is so much higher and everyone is making good passes. The best advice was to try to work on my skills, even when I’m away from the rink.
“Not only from J.J., but from guys like (former Rangers wing) Adam Graves, they say to work on my hands and my skills. I’m a big guy with a physical skill set, but I have to have a game where I can move the puck well, too. That just makes me a more complete player, so I’m just trying to refine all skills as much as possible.”
…love that this kid is so willing to learn and take advice from guys who have been there. Going to help tremendously with his development.
Berlett also takes a look at prospect Jason Wilson.
