Defenseman Matthew Robertson knows it will take a lot of hard work as he battles for the Rangers’ sixth or seventh spot on defense when training camp begins next week.

Following the first New York Rangers rookie practice, defenseman Mathew Robertson met with the media to talk about the rookie camp and what he hopes to achieve once the Blueshirts’ camp kicks off next week.
