“Well, we’re not used to it being unfrozen, but once we find the puck in here somewhere we’ll get on with the game”.
Man, this sure beats ice!
Guys, I hope this stuff freezes over in time for the Winter Classic!
With the stadium series planned for southern Florida, the Rangers’ summer mini camp included swimming drills.
“The Devils eliminated us early this year so now we can enjoy the sun and surf for longer!”
Swimming with…Rangers?
So this is what an outdoor rink in Florida looks like…
Surfs puck!
Wood sticks and jean shorts were never more appropriate.
Little did Weight, Rice & Amonte realize that, in the future, hockey could be played near or at the beach. Ahead of their time…
Okay guys..smile, last time anyone will see our real teeth.
let’s play shark hockey.
The Rangers were on fire that day. So much that they melted the rink!
Man ibwish we could do this all the time bit we have to play hockey.
Due to an ice chiller malfunction, this season’s Outdoor Stadium Series game will be cancelled!
Gilligan, Mary Ann, and Ginger.
Hey guys is that a Shark? No we are the New York Rangers remeber? No guys I think that is a shark swimming there. Just smile really big and cheesy and maybe it won’t hurt us.

Not sure there are words in the English dictionary to describe this. Don’t quit your day job. Leave the beach to Baywatch…..I just showed everyone how old I am.
Broad street bullies digging for oysters
Hey, someone forgot to keep the ice frozen.
What were they thinking… An outdoor game in miami beach! Are they crazy, what’s next a game at the LA Dodgers stadium!
Rangers show they’re not afraid of the Sharks.
Hey boys I think there’s something wrong with this rinks refrigeration system, eh! But it’s wicked fun, eh?
I know the season starts early, but did we have to play the Sharks on Opening Day??
Stadium series 2015 in Hawaii!?!
We’ve been out here three hours, and we still can’t find the puck.
Just think, maybe one day we’ll get to play hockey OUTSIDE, like we did when we were kids!
This not walking on water thing is fun but where did the puck go?
No skates no helmet no ice no problem.
who said we couldn’t play till the water turned to ice?
We promise were not peeing in the ocean
Is this Ellis Island?
Florida hosts it’s first and last outdoor game.
We’re the Rangers of ’91.
80 games and we were done.
The Stanley cup was out of reach.
So we decided to hit the beach!
The “Stadium Series” didn’t go too well in July..
Guys, just smile and pretend we’re having fun even though our sticks are worthless in the water.
He shoots, He swims
Now thats what I call a game of pond hockey.
Who needs sunblock at the beach when you have hockey jerseys and wet denim?!
All-Star rooks in the big apple training hard by way of a fast paced game of sea hockey, the summer Olympics version of hockey! #OnlyinNYCSports.
As teams have been learning how to dive and draw penalties, the rangers rookies have been learning to cannon ball
Hey! Moe the ice melted, nuk, nuk, nuk
Finally realizing that we can play hockey AND walk on water at the same time!
