The New York Rangers have announced that MSG will be broadcasting four games at the Traverse City Prospect Tournament. The tournament will run from September 10th through September 14th, and will feature prospects from eight NHL teams.
The teams will be separated into two divisions, the Gretzky Division and the Howe Division. The New York Rangers, St. Louis Blues, Dallas Stars and Carolina Hurricanes will represent the Gretzky division, while the Detroit Red Wings, Columbus Blue Jackets, and Minnesota Wild represent the Howe division.
The tournament begins with a three-day round robin tournament; teams are than seeded by their win/loss records. The final day of the tournament will end with the Championship game, between the two top teams.
This will now give us fans a chance to view the up and coming talent from within the system. Rosters have not be announced yet, so for now I'll leave you with the schedule.
Join me after the jump for the schedule and press release:

How is it decided what teams will participate?
"Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

THIS^^^^???
The Rangers have been in it the past several years. Are they always in it? Are their teams that choose not to participate? How come it’s only 8 teams?

I think its just any of the six teams who accept the invitation

But why would teams not participate? Its a perfect chance to see players before camp, and watch them against other potential NHL talent.

with all the new sponsers for Blueshirt Underground Radio, maybe they can open up a scholarship program for underprivelaged Rangers fans so that they can have MSG.
especially those scrap metal guys…if they dont try to shove it up your ass first.

Can’t you watch it on-line some how?
by Ranger McJersey on Jul 20, 2011 6:06 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
I usually do, especially for games when my center ice package is blacked out..
BUT, the quality is usually really bad, especially with a shitty college dorm internet connection.

LMAO!!!

This is awesome.
But it’s also a big tease to see “Breaking News” at the top of the page when you’re patiently awaiting a player signing !
Pierre McGuire needs to go away.

Last year the roster wasn't announced until July 26th
They tease us… and its bull shit that I’m going to split attention from the Giants opener to catch the Stars game live. I’ll only have money on one, unless someone knows a guy who runs numbers on the Traverse City Tournament.. that would be pretty hardcore.
by Gabby the Gutless Sniper on Jul 20, 2011 2:15 PM EDT reply actions
This is fantastic news to me.
I can’t wait to see our CHL prospects play on the same team for a change.
We won’t be seeing the college prospects, or the SEL prospects (their season starts sept 15 without looking) which is a little disappointing because I am intrigued by Fasth.
Can’t wait to see JT Miller, Thomas, McIlrath, Yogan, McColgan, and Bourque tear it up
What will I do with all my Gilmore Girls and Glee episodes? Decisions.. decisions, what’s a girl suppose to do.

Don’t think Kreider will go because he would have to pay his own way as well as pay for room and board

And we definitely need to double check on Fogarty’s eligibility because he has already committed to Notre Dame.

Considering how many college and farm team games they show, it will be nice to see a new number on a blueshirt and know who he is and how he plays…
