The 2020-21 NWHL season begins on Jan. 23 in Lake Placid, New York, and the New York Rangers will be in the stands supporting the Metropolitan Riveters and Connecticut Whale. Well, sort of.
Of course, fans will not be in attendance at Lake Placid because of the pandemic so the NWHL’s six franchises have made it possible for fans to submit pictures of themselves (and their pets) to be made into cardboard cutouts to fill the seats. Today, the NWHL announced that cutouts of all 25 Rangers will be in the stands at the Herb Brooks Arena in support of the Riveters and Whale.
