Exclusive interview with Darren Raddysh, from undrafted defenseman to the Rangers post-season roster

Darren Raddysh is a not a familiar name to many Rangers fans, but he has been a part of the organization for over a year now. Growing up in Toronto, the defenseman played with Connor McDavid at age 14. Now, Darren is preparing for the NHL playoffs. It’s been quite a journey and one I had the opportunity to ask him about one one one.

Growing up, Darren and his brother played hockey at a very young age. Their dad got them rollerblades and they had a hard-wood floor in their basement.
