Interview: Rangers prospect Hunter Skinner is more than just a great hockey name

When the Rangers drafted Hunter Skinner, fans at Rogers Arena asked me who he was. I didn’t know much about him, and he was not a name I expected to hear. But the Rangers seemed confident and a year later, I can say that Skinner has been a an excellent pick so far. So when I thought about who to interview next, I reached out to him and he was happy to be included in this series. So, who is Hunter Skinner?

Accepting the challenge

Growing up in Michigan, Skinner started playing hockey from a young age.
