STAMFORD, Conn. — Training camp for the Rangers’ 2021-22 season is a month away, and as the NHL prepares to go back to a full 82-game season, with fans in arenas from Day 1, players are starting to get excited.
On Thursday, several current and former NHL players, including current Rangers Chris Kreider and Adam Fox, were able to gather in Stamford for Smashfest, the annual ping pong tournament organized by former Ranger Dominic Moore where players mingle with fans in an effort to raise money to fight against cancer and to learn more about concussions.
"I think this is one thing that really got lost in the craziness of the pandemic — we didn’t have the same opportunities to gather like this to contribute to a charity,’’ Kreider said.
