Rangers Officially Announce Traverse City Roster & Schedule

Although it had already been announced by a Detroit Red Wings website, newyorkrangers.com, today, officially announced the Blueshirts Traverse City Tournament roster as well as the schedule...

"Fifteen of the 22 players participated in the Rangers' annual Prospect Development Camp earlier this summer. This includes 2009 draft picks Ethan Werek, Ryan Bourque, Scott Stajcer and Daniel Maggio. Roman Horak, the team's 2009 fourth-round pick out of the Czech Republic, will also go to Traverse City in preparation for his first full season in North America.

Defenseman Michael Del Zotto, the Rangers' 2008 first-round pick and forward Evgeny Grachev, who won the Ontario Hockey League's Rookie of the Year Award last season after being taken in the third round of the 2008 draft, will be returning to the tournament along with forwards Justin Soryal and Dale Weise, who both played for the Wolf Pack last season. Tysen Dowzak, a defenseman who spent most of last season in the WHL, is also back from the 2008 team."

The Traverse City tournament begins Sunday, Sept. 6, in Traverse City, Mich at the Detroit Red Wings' training facility.
