doing some good in the community,,this is what it's all about
Throughout the 2006-07 season, the New York Rangers players, alumni and staff will be involved in a new community outreach effort called the Brighten Someone’s Day Challenge. The goal of effort is to extend a helping hand to individuals, groups and organizations in need, while inspiring others to do the same.
The Rangers jump-started the initiative on the opening night of the 2006-07 season at Madison Square Garden when Firefighter Joe Mayer was honored for twice donating to the National Marrow Donor Program.
On Wednesday, the Blueshirts officially launched the program by engaging in three separate charitable acts within the community.
"The Rangers are a first-class organization," said forward Ryan Hollweg, "and they do anything they can to give back to the community. The players are all volunteering to help out. When everyone wants to spend time to be a part of this, it's a great thing."
Hollweg and Darius Kasparaitis visited "The Zone" at Kravis Children's Hospital at Mount Sinai to bring a smile to patients. Between playing air hockey and basketball with the kids, they signed autographs and took pictures.
"It is exciting, and if I had to choose one word to describe it, I would say it is very special," said one 10-year-old girl. "I couldn't go to sleep last night!"
Kasparaitis and Hollweg also participated in a 15-minute in-house TV show that was broadcast throughout the hospital for children unable to leave their rooms. The children were able to call in and ask questions while the two players showed off different hockey techniques and gave advice.
"It's always important to give back to the community," said Kasparaitis. "It's always fun to see kids smiling, and it's great to be able to brighten up their day."
While Kasparaitis and Hollweg were at the hospital on Wednesday, teammates Henrik Lundqvist and Jed Ortmeyer were surprising students at John Philip Sousa Middle School 142.
The pair met with students from a group known as "Children Can Care", who were being rewarded for their efforts in the community with a visit from the Rangers. Last year, the children filled a 18-wheeler truck for Hurricane Katrina victims by raising money through dance competitions and lollipop sales.
Lundqvist and Ortmeyer also helped design a stairwell with words and phrases of encouragement.
The stairwell, titled the "Stairwell of Success" is intended to be an area where the children feel encouraged to strive for excellence in school. Working in teams and completing one step at a time, Henrik and Jed helped the students to apply words such as courage, integrity, persistence, commitment, and wisdom.
While one player worked with a student higher up on the stairs, the other would work with another lower on the stairs. All the while, the students asked the players about hockey and other things they did in the community. To close the visit, together, the players and students watched as a Rangers banner, which was signed by each player, was hung. A group picture was taken under the banner, where smiles indicated, fun was had by all.
In a third event at the Rangers Training Center, Jason Ward and Colton Orr treated a single mother and her four children, all of whom have disabilities, to a VIP experience at MSG Training Center. Denise, the mother of Daniel (15), Damian (11), Dakota (8) and Amanda (6) only wanted toys for her kids for Christmas this year. This once homeless family has had a tough life, moving around, living in a shelter and suffering the tragedy of domestic violence.
The experience included limousine service to and from the MSG Training Center, player meet-and-greets, pizza lunch, and a room full of presents for the children. Upon arrival, each child received Rangers goodie bags, filled with stickers, folders, magnets and T-shirts.
The most exciting part of watching practice was when Orr tapped the glass and waved at the children, and Jaromir Jagr slapped a puck against the glass where they were sitting, smiling at them as he skated by.
Daniel quickly responded, "Did you see that? The player almost cracked the glass and he was laughing!” While watching practice, the kids tried to identify the players on their magnets, on the ice. Each time, they picked the correct player and matched him to their magnet; they would smile and clap.
After practice, the kids enjoyed their pizza lunch, not realizing that at any moment, they would get to meet Rangers players up close.
Ward and Orr surprised the kids after lunch and asked them to go on a tour. The once pizza lunchroom was turned in a room filled with presents for each child, a large basket filled with food and countless balloons.
Upon returning to the room, Ward and Orr helped the family to unwrap their presents. After each present was opened you heard one of the children yell, "Look mommy, look what I got." Denise stood in awe as she watched her children and the Rangers players tear open each gift. Ward took the time to help 6-year-old Amanda complete her SpongeBob puzzle, while Orr threw balloons around with her brother, Damian.
Throughout the season, the Rangers encourage fans to give back to the community in any way possible, no matter how big or small it might seem. Fans may submit their stories on how they have brightened someone's day by emailing them to newyorkrangers@thegarden.com. Each month, some of these stories will be highlighted in-arena and at http://www.newyorkrangers.com.
Darcy Tucker forget him, the one we need to send Orrsie after is Ruutu from Pittsburgh.
06 Olympics isn't the only time he got Jagr.
with all due respect, Orr has been night -to-night on the roster, and the few times I have seen him this year, it appears his arms arent as long as the opposing " goons " , so 9 times out of 10, they hold each other and the opposing guy sneaks a direct hit or 2 in on him .
Hollweg is fiesty as hell, but hes actually developing into a playmaking , energy-lifting 3rd or 4th Line forward .
Yes , he ( Orr ) is strong, and has size, but its evident we need someone else .

October 23, 2006 -- THE re-emergence of Sandis Ozolinsh may or may not help defense and power-play point issues, but it sure does create salary cap issues for the Rangers.
Somehow, even while cap-charged only $4.94 million on Jaromir Jagr's $8.36M per and even with management's reasoned approach to the market, Ozolinsh's restoration to the lineup means the Blueshirts are at $42.878M on the $44M cap. The team could be granted proportionate relief if necessary on Jed Ortmeyer's $551,800, but only if the payroll were to climb to $44M without counting the incapacitated winger's contract.
But that's for the future. For the present, the return of the $2.75M Ozolinsh means the 4-4 Rangers will be sitting a high-priced defenseman out of every game - unless, that is, Tom Renney chooses the path of least resistance and sits struggling sophomore Fedor ($987,500) Tyutin - with none especially attractive on the trade market.
Marek Malik, deemed odd man out for Saturday's 5-4 shootout victory in Toronto even before he underwent root-canal, has this year and next remaining on a contract under which he earns $2.5M per. Michal Rozsival is in the first year of a two-year deal at $2.1M per under the cap. Darius Kasparaitis has this year and next to go at an annual $2.989M cap charge. Aaron Ward will earn $2.75M per over the next two seasons. Karel Rachunek is on a one-year, $1.8M contract. And then there's Ozolinsh on the final year of his deal.
Not a bargain in the bunch.
Over the summer, it seemed as if the Rangers would create maneuverability by placing Ozolinsh on waivers as soon as he was pronounced fit to play following rehab from offseason knee surgery. Dispatching players to the minors is the only way - other than by trade - to eliminate a contract as a cap charge. And Ozolinsh's experience as a Ranger provided no reason to believe he'd ever skate with the team again. But it now appears as if the plan is to actually make Ozolinsh a top-six defenseman, which leaves management with very little wiggle room.
Compounding the situation is the fact the Rangers have a back-up goaltender in Kevin Weekes who's eating up $1.95M of cap money. Buffalo, with Martin Biron at $2.128M as Ryan Miller's understudy, is the only other team in the league with a clear-cut No. 2 earning so much money.
Meanwhile, Thomas Pock, now the eighth defenseman, could pay the price, and quickly. But if the Rangers attempt to waive Pock to thereby save an approximately pro-rated $540,000 on the cap (he's earning $600,000) there's a risk of losing him to a claim. Teams are desperate to balance their cap by having as many lower-priced players as possible in the lineup to balance top-end contracts. Teams generally cannot afford to make nightly healthy scratches of people earning $2M and above.
Yet that's the scenario the Rangers face. It's also a scenario that, if not rectified, will all but eliminate the Rangers from play in the high-end trade market, because the guys the other teams would want in return for a large contract - Tyutin, Petr Prucha, Al Montoya, Marc Staal, Lauri Korpikoski, Brandon Dubinsky - all either make less than $1M or don't currently count against the cap, anyway.

Graves carries winning message to kids
Nancy Koenig | NHL.com correspondent Oct 23, 2006, 9:52 AM EDT
Four years after being dealt to San Jose, former Ranger Adam Graves returned to the organization as a Special Assistant in the Community Relations Dept.
In the summer of 2001, the Rangers traded Adam Graves, one of the most beloved players in the organization's history, to the San Jose Sharks. Four years later, the franchise made a more popular decision, bringing fan-magnet Graves back to the organization as a Special Assistant: Prospect Development and Community Relations and Junior Rangers Ambassador.
As teams scrambled to find ways to charm back disgruntled fans after the lockout, the Rangers enjoyed the influx of positive energy that Graves automatically generates with his presence.
The position, custom-made for Graves, couldn't have been a better fit for man who'd endeared himself to New York as a left wing and goodwill envoy from 1991-2001. In that span, he appeared in 772 games and finished with 280 goals, ranking as the third leading goal-scorer in franchise history. He held the Rangers' single-season goal scoring record for over a decade until Jaromir Jagr claimed it last season.
As a consummate team player, Graves quickly etched his way into the hearts of his Blueshirt brothers, always there to make a big play, throw a timely hit or to come to the defense of a teammate. But it was off the ice that Graves proved there are some things more important in life than the game of hockey: the connections that are made along the way.
Whether he was donating time to one of the countless charities he was involved with or signing an autograph outside Madison Square Garden, the King Clancy and Bill Masterton Trophy recipient made a connection with everyone he encountered. He paid special attention to each fan he came in contact with, viewing them not as strangers, but friends who shared a common interest.
Graves hunted down causes before they had a chance to come looking for him and tried to do so without drawing any publicity in the process, unless it was a benefit that needed some degree of advertising to succeed.
Graves finished his playing career in San Jose. The decision to retire was pondered by mind, but dictated by body.
"In a perfect world, you would play until 60, but my body said otherwise," said the 38-year old, who last played in 2002-03. "It probably had to do with the way I played; you can only give and take so much pounding. Eventually your body follows suit."
It's not uncommon for NHL players to stay involved with the game long after they've retired. The list of coaches, general managers, scouts, and broadcasters with games played on their resume is a long one. Graves wasted little time mourning the end of his playing career.
"The glass is half full; I was fortunate to play as long as I did," he said. "I still have passion for the game. I don't need to play now to fulfill that passion."
Taking the position with the Rangers was a no-brainer for a man who has the team's colors racing through his veins. He held as much regard for the organization, city and fans as he did the teammates he hoisted the Stanley Cup with and was eager to return to the franchise. The smile that breaks out across his face whenever he discusses the Rangers is topped only perhaps by the one reserved for chatting about his family.
"I feel as much a part of the team now as when I played," he said.
Adam Graves hosts youth hockey clinics throughout the season, including a two-week camp during the summer, and takes part in the Rangers All-S.T.A.R Club, free to all fans 17 and under.
It's a smile that indicates the right choice was made.
Upon his return, the organization started the Rangers All-S.T.A.R Club, free for all fans under 17 years of age. In one season alone, just under 10,000 members signed up. Graves hosts youth hockey clinics throughout the season and a two-week hockey camp during the summer; they fill to capacity rapidly.
Graves will deflect any theories that insinuate the draw has anything to do with his efforts, the same way he will humbly deflect praise of any other nature. Few have run harder or faster in the opposite direction of accolades, which only adds to Graves' likeability factor.
"Some of these kids are 6 through 8-years old," he protests. "They don't know me from a hole in the ground! I played before they were born. But in essence, they understand that we're all part of the Ranger family."
Regardless of whether or not the children know who Graves is as they head into a clinic or camp, he quickly captures their full attention. Correctly assessing an ideal time to get through to kids about important subjects, Graves knows they'll be receptive to messages about what it takes to be successful.
"We try to teach them things that you can't learn in front of a computer or PlayStation or Xbox. Not that we as kids didn't enjoy playing Atari, back then in the dinosaur ages," he added with a laugh. "It's good to have that time, and you certainly need to understand the importance of computers, but you also need to exercise, take care of your body and learn what it's like to play in a team atmosphere.
"It's not just, ‘Hey, throw on your equipment and let us show you how to take a wrist shot.' As much as we're talking about hockey, we're talking about life. We're talking about the important things: dedication, hard work, having fun, having passion for what you're doing, setting goals, interaction, teamwork ... all these things that are pretty generic in nature, yet they can be applied to hockey, school and any dream you have in life."
The camps and clinics, organized skillfully by Adam Evert: the Rangers' manager of Community and Fan Development, focus on not only making an impression on the youngsters, but the right impression. One of the most important messages relayed relates to enjoyment.
"This is all about having fun" Graves said. "This is a sport that's supposed to put a smile on your face."
From the moment the kids walk into the MSG Training Center, they are excited and impressionable.
"They step into the facility here and their eyes light up," said Graves. "They see the flags and banners, the aura, the intensity and energy level of this building. That's essentially what its all about, taking all the good things that the game of hockey brings to our lives, not necessarily just on the professional level but the grassroots level.
"There's no reason it shouldn't be positive and upbeat. It should always be a happy experience
for a child to play a sport." -- Adam Graves
"We want to focus on the simple things and make sure the kids have an outstanding experience at the same time. There's something about putting on a jersey that has that NY Ranger crest. A lot of these kids aspire to someday wear that professionally. For this period, they're wearing that jersey out on the ice of the practice facility, so they're part of the organization. It helps them understand that this is their team."
Graves still vividly recalls attending a hockey camp in Toronto when he was a child, so he knows the impression he has the chance to make.
"I remember how much I looked forward to it and how I revered the instructors, how much of my attention they had then. I still remember the experiences vividly today, and that was 20-25 years ago. I still remember like it was yesterday."
That's why Graves understands how important it is to reinforce the messages he'd want his own children exposed to, as they participate in various sports.
"In the Graves household, there's no pressure to play anything," he said. "The only rule we have with whatever you choose to do is if you start a season, you have to finish it. At the end of the year, you can reevaluate and decide if you want to participate again."
Graves also grasps why it's important to emphasize fun. In today's times when children's sports are so competitive and are taken so seriously by parents and coaches, kids often lose sight of the fact that they're playing a game.
"Anytime you coach, you can directly influence the culture and atmosphere of your team," Graves said. "There's no reason it shouldn't be positive and upbeat. It should always be a happy experience for a child to play a sport."
Kids at the camps and clinics don't seem to have any trouble grasping that concept.
"This is awesome!" said an elated Nicholas Barile at the latest camp, held this past August. The 10-year old wore a grin from ear to ear as he paused to watch a group engaged in on-ice skills, before heading outdoors for his group's team-building exercises. Following his gaze, it was hard not to notice something these kids all had in common besides the jerseys on their backs and the sticks in their hands.
There were smiles all around.
He was actually out greeting fans at Grand Central Terminal today- unfortunately i didnt make it into manhattan to see the great Graves.

Graves was always a favorite of mine. Had a jersey with his name and number that I proudly wore during their cup run in 94. Great memories and a great guy. My brother's fiance organized an outing to a game two weeks ago for his birthday and as a thanks the Rangers sent her a puck with Graves' autograph on it, that my brother now proudly has on his desk.

you ain't shitting kid !! Ward cracked him good
BUT WE DO NEED MORE TOUGHNESS!!!!!
06 Olympics isn't the only time he got Jagr.
Throughout the 2006-07 season, the New York Rangers players, alumni and staff will be involved in a new community outreach effort called the Brighten Someone’s Day Challenge. The goal of effort is to extend a helping hand to individuals, groups and organizations in need, while inspiring others to do the same.
The Rangers jump-started the initiative on the opening night of the 2006-07 season at Madison Square Garden when Firefighter Joe Mayer was honored for twice donating to the National Marrow Donor Program.
On Wednesday, the Blueshirts officially launched the program by engaging in three separate charitable acts within the community.
"The Rangers are a first-class organization," said forward Ryan Hollweg, "and they do anything they can to give back to the community. The players are all volunteering to help out. When everyone wants to spend time to be a part of this, it's a great thing."
Hollweg and Darius Kasparaitis visited "The Zone" at Kravis Children's Hospital at Mount Sinai to bring a smile to patients. Between playing air hockey and basketball with the kids, they signed autographs and took pictures.
"It is exciting, and if I had to choose one word to describe it, I would say it is very special," said one 10-year-old girl. "I couldn't go to sleep last night!"
Kasparaitis and Hollweg also participated in a 15-minute in-house TV show that was broadcast throughout the hospital for children unable to leave their rooms. The children were able to call in and ask questions while the two players showed off different hockey techniques and gave advice.
"It's always important to give back to the community," said Kasparaitis. "It's always fun to see kids smiling, and it's great to be able to brighten up their day."
While Kasparaitis and Hollweg were at the hospital on Wednesday, teammates Henrik Lundqvist and Jed Ortmeyer were surprising students at John Philip Sousa Middle School 142.
The pair met with students from a group known as "Children Can Care", who were being rewarded for their efforts in the community with a visit from the Rangers. Last year, the children filled a 18-wheeler truck for Hurricane Katrina victims by raising money through dance competitions and lollipop sales.
Lundqvist and Ortmeyer also helped design a stairwell with words and phrases of encouragement.
The stairwell, titled the "Stairwell of Success" is intended to be an area where the children feel encouraged to strive for excellence in school. Working in teams and completing one step at a time, Henrik and Jed helped the students to apply words such as courage, integrity, persistence, commitment, and wisdom.
While one player worked with a student higher up on the stairs, the other would work with another lower on the stairs. All the while, the students asked the players about hockey and other things they did in the community. To close the visit, together, the players and students watched as a Rangers banner, which was signed by each player, was hung. A group picture was taken under the banner, where smiles indicated, fun was had by all.
In a third event at the Rangers Training Center, Jason Ward and Colton Orr treated a single mother and her four children, all of whom have disabilities, to a VIP experience at MSG Training Center. Denise, the mother of Daniel (15), Damian (11), Dakota (8) and Amanda (6) only wanted toys for her kids for Christmas this year. This once homeless family has had a tough life, moving around, living in a shelter and suffering the tragedy of domestic violence.
The experience included limousine service to and from the MSG Training Center, player meet-and-greets, pizza lunch, and a room full of presents for the children. Upon arrival, each child received Rangers goodie bags, filled with stickers, folders, magnets and T-shirts.
The most exciting part of watching practice was when Orr tapped the glass and waved at the children, and Jaromir Jagr slapped a puck against the glass where they were sitting, smiling at them as he skated by.
Daniel quickly responded, "Did you see that? The player almost cracked the glass and he was laughing!” While watching practice, the kids tried to identify the players on their magnets, on the ice. Each time, they picked the correct player and matched him to their magnet; they would smile and clap.
After practice, the kids enjoyed their pizza lunch, not realizing that at any moment, they would get to meet Rangers players up close.
Ward and Orr surprised the kids after lunch and asked them to go on a tour. The once pizza lunchroom was turned in a room filled with presents for each child, a large basket filled with food and countless balloons.
Upon returning to the room, Ward and Orr helped the family to unwrap their presents. After each present was opened you heard one of the children yell, "Look mommy, look what I got." Denise stood in awe as she watched her children and the Rangers players tear open each gift. Ward took the time to help 6-year-old Amanda complete her SpongeBob puzzle, while Orr threw balloons around with her brother, Damian.
Throughout the season, the Rangers encourage fans to give back to the community in any way possible, no matter how big or small it might seem. Fans may submit their stories on how they have brightened someone's day by emailing them to newyorkrangers@thegarden.com. Each month, some of these stories will be highlighted in-arena and at http://www.newyorkrangers.com.
with all due respect, Orr has been night -to-night on the roster, and the few times I have seen him this year, it appears his arms arent as long as the opposing " goons " , so 9 times out of 10, they hold each other and the opposing guy sneaks a direct hit or 2 in on him .
Hollweg is fiesty as hell, but hes actually developing into a playmaking , energy-lifting 3rd or 4th Line forward .
Yes , he ( Orr ) is strong, and has size, but its evident we need someone else .

RANGERS CAPPING OUT WITH OZOLINSH IN LINEUP
October 23, 2006 -- THE re-emergence of Sandis Ozolinsh may or may not help defense and power-play point issues, but it sure does create salary cap issues for the Rangers.
Somehow, even while cap-charged only $4.94 million on Jaromir Jagr's $8.36M per and even with management's reasoned approach to the market, Ozolinsh's restoration to the lineup means the Blueshirts are at $42.878M on the $44M cap. The team could be granted proportionate relief if necessary on Jed Ortmeyer's $551,800, but only if the payroll were to climb to $44M without counting the incapacitated winger's contract.
But that's for the future. For the present, the return of the $2.75M Ozolinsh means the 4-4 Rangers will be sitting a high-priced defenseman out of every game - unless, that is, Tom Renney chooses the path of least resistance and sits struggling sophomore Fedor ($987,500) Tyutin - with none especially attractive on the trade market.
Marek Malik, deemed odd man out for Saturday's 5-4 shootout victory in Toronto even before he underwent root-canal, has this year and next remaining on a contract under which he earns $2.5M per. Michal Rozsival is in the first year of a two-year deal at $2.1M per under the cap. Darius Kasparaitis has this year and next to go at an annual $2.989M cap charge. Aaron Ward will earn $2.75M per over the next two seasons. Karel Rachunek is on a one-year, $1.8M contract. And then there's Ozolinsh on the final year of his deal.
Not a bargain in the bunch.
Over the summer, it seemed as if the Rangers would create maneuverability by placing Ozolinsh on waivers as soon as he was pronounced fit to play following rehab from offseason knee surgery. Dispatching players to the minors is the only way - other than by trade - to eliminate a contract as a cap charge. And Ozolinsh's experience as a Ranger provided no reason to believe he'd ever skate with the team again. But it now appears as if the plan is to actually make Ozolinsh a top-six defenseman, which leaves management with very little wiggle room.
Compounding the situation is the fact the Rangers have a back-up goaltender in Kevin Weekes who's eating up $1.95M of cap money. Buffalo, with Martin Biron at $2.128M as Ryan Miller's understudy, is the only other team in the league with a clear-cut No. 2 earning so much money.
Meanwhile, Thomas Pock, now the eighth defenseman, could pay the price, and quickly. But if the Rangers attempt to waive Pock to thereby save an approximately pro-rated $540,000 on the cap (he's earning $600,000) there's a risk of losing him to a claim. Teams are desperate to balance their cap by having as many lower-priced players as possible in the lineup to balance top-end contracts. Teams generally cannot afford to make nightly healthy scratches of people earning $2M and above.
Yet that's the scenario the Rangers face. It's also a scenario that, if not rectified, will all but eliminate the Rangers from play in the high-end trade market, because the guys the other teams would want in return for a large contract - Tyutin, Petr Prucha, Al Montoya, Marc Staal, Lauri Korpikoski, Brandon Dubinsky - all either make less than $1M or don't currently count against the cap, anyway.
Ozolinsh had better be worth it.

AKA ..STEEL KNUCKLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Graves carries winning message to kids
Nancy Koenig | NHL.com correspondent Oct 23, 2006, 9:52 AM EDT
Four years after being dealt to San Jose, former Ranger Adam Graves returned to the organization as a Special Assistant in the Community Relations Dept.
In the summer of 2001, the Rangers traded Adam Graves, one of the most beloved players in the organization's history, to the San Jose Sharks. Four years later, the franchise made a more popular decision, bringing fan-magnet Graves back to the organization as a Special Assistant: Prospect Development and Community Relations and Junior Rangers Ambassador.
As teams scrambled to find ways to charm back disgruntled fans after the lockout, the Rangers enjoyed the influx of positive energy that Graves automatically generates with his presence.
The position, custom-made for Graves, couldn't have been a better fit for man who'd endeared himself to New York as a left wing and goodwill envoy from 1991-2001. In that span, he appeared in 772 games and finished with 280 goals, ranking as the third leading goal-scorer in franchise history. He held the Rangers' single-season goal scoring record for over a decade until Jaromir Jagr claimed it last season.
As a consummate team player, Graves quickly etched his way into the hearts of his Blueshirt brothers, always there to make a big play, throw a timely hit or to come to the defense of a teammate. But it was off the ice that Graves proved there are some things more important in life than the game of hockey: the connections that are made along the way.
Whether he was donating time to one of the countless charities he was involved with or signing an autograph outside Madison Square Garden, the King Clancy and Bill Masterton Trophy recipient made a connection with everyone he encountered. He paid special attention to each fan he came in contact with, viewing them not as strangers, but friends who shared a common interest.
Graves hunted down causes before they had a chance to come looking for him and tried to do so without drawing any publicity in the process, unless it was a benefit that needed some degree of advertising to succeed.
Graves finished his playing career in San Jose. The decision to retire was pondered by mind, but dictated by body.
"In a perfect world, you would play until 60, but my body said otherwise," said the 38-year old, who last played in 2002-03. "It probably had to do with the way I played; you can only give and take so much pounding. Eventually your body follows suit."
It's not uncommon for NHL players to stay involved with the game long after they've retired. The list of coaches, general managers, scouts, and broadcasters with games played on their resume is a long one. Graves wasted little time mourning the end of his playing career.
"The glass is half full; I was fortunate to play as long as I did," he said. "I still have passion for the game. I don't need to play now to fulfill that passion."
Taking the position with the Rangers was a no-brainer for a man who has the team's colors racing through his veins. He held as much regard for the organization, city and fans as he did the teammates he hoisted the Stanley Cup with and was eager to return to the franchise. The smile that breaks out across his face whenever he discusses the Rangers is topped only perhaps by the one reserved for chatting about his family.
"I feel as much a part of the team now as when I played," he said.
Adam Graves hosts youth hockey clinics throughout the season, including a two-week camp during the summer, and takes part in the Rangers All-S.T.A.R Club, free to all fans 17 and under.
It's a smile that indicates the right choice was made.
Upon his return, the organization started the Rangers All-S.T.A.R Club, free for all fans under 17 years of age. In one season alone, just under 10,000 members signed up. Graves hosts youth hockey clinics throughout the season and a two-week hockey camp during the summer; they fill to capacity rapidly.
Graves will deflect any theories that insinuate the draw has anything to do with his efforts, the same way he will humbly deflect praise of any other nature. Few have run harder or faster in the opposite direction of accolades, which only adds to Graves' likeability factor.
"Some of these kids are 6 through 8-years old," he protests. "They don't know me from a hole in the ground! I played before they were born. But in essence, they understand that we're all part of the Ranger family."
Regardless of whether or not the children know who Graves is as they head into a clinic or camp, he quickly captures their full attention. Correctly assessing an ideal time to get through to kids about important subjects, Graves knows they'll be receptive to messages about what it takes to be successful.
"We try to teach them things that you can't learn in front of a computer or PlayStation or Xbox. Not that we as kids didn't enjoy playing Atari, back then in the dinosaur ages," he added with a laugh. "It's good to have that time, and you certainly need to understand the importance of computers, but you also need to exercise, take care of your body and learn what it's like to play in a team atmosphere.
"It's not just, ‘Hey, throw on your equipment and let us show you how to take a wrist shot.' As much as we're talking about hockey, we're talking about life. We're talking about the important things: dedication, hard work, having fun, having passion for what you're doing, setting goals, interaction, teamwork ... all these things that are pretty generic in nature, yet they can be applied to hockey, school and any dream you have in life."
The camps and clinics, organized skillfully by Adam Evert: the Rangers' manager of Community and Fan Development, focus on not only making an impression on the youngsters, but the right impression. One of the most important messages relayed relates to enjoyment.
"This is all about having fun" Graves said. "This is a sport that's supposed to put a smile on your face."
From the moment the kids walk into the MSG Training Center, they are excited and impressionable.
"They step into the facility here and their eyes light up," said Graves. "They see the flags and banners, the aura, the intensity and energy level of this building. That's essentially what its all about, taking all the good things that the game of hockey brings to our lives, not necessarily just on the professional level but the grassroots level.
"There's no reason it shouldn't be positive and upbeat. It should always be a happy experience
for a child to play a sport." -- Adam Graves
"We want to focus on the simple things and make sure the kids have an outstanding experience at the same time. There's something about putting on a jersey that has that NY Ranger crest. A lot of these kids aspire to someday wear that professionally. For this period, they're wearing that jersey out on the ice of the practice facility, so they're part of the organization. It helps them understand that this is their team."
Graves still vividly recalls attending a hockey camp in Toronto when he was a child, so he knows the impression he has the chance to make.
"I remember how much I looked forward to it and how I revered the instructors, how much of my attention they had then. I still remember the experiences vividly today, and that was 20-25 years ago. I still remember like it was yesterday."
That's why Graves understands how important it is to reinforce the messages he'd want his own children exposed to, as they participate in various sports.
"In the Graves household, there's no pressure to play anything," he said. "The only rule we have with whatever you choose to do is if you start a season, you have to finish it. At the end of the year, you can reevaluate and decide if you want to participate again."
Graves also grasps why it's important to emphasize fun. In today's times when children's sports are so competitive and are taken so seriously by parents and coaches, kids often lose sight of the fact that they're playing a game.
"Anytime you coach, you can directly influence the culture and atmosphere of your team," Graves said. "There's no reason it shouldn't be positive and upbeat. It should always be a happy experience for a child to play a sport."
Kids at the camps and clinics don't seem to have any trouble grasping that concept.
"This is awesome!" said an elated Nicholas Barile at the latest camp, held this past August. The 10-year old wore a grin from ear to ear as he paused to watch a group engaged in on-ice skills, before heading outdoors for his group's team-building exercises. Following his gaze, it was hard not to notice something these kids all had in common besides the jerseys on their backs and the sticks in their hands.
There were smiles all around.
He was actually out greeting fans at Grand Central Terminal today- unfortunately i didnt make it into manhattan to see the great Graves.

I named my first born son after Gravey and was able to let Adam know at a practice in Hartford a few years ago. he gave me a puck and his stick signed to Adam from Adam without asking for shit........AG is on a level all his own.

Graves was always a favorite of mine. Had a jersey with his name and number that I proudly wore during their cup run in 94. Great memories and a great guy. My brother's fiance organized an outing to a game two weeks ago for his birthday and as a thanks the Rangers sent her a puck with Graves' autograph on it, that my brother now proudly has on his desk. One of the great Rangers, for sure! And damn Bure, the bastard's name is still on my only Ranger's jersey!
