When Matt Rempe got to the NHL, he didn’t mess around. It became evident from seeing him drop the gloves that he isn’t scared of anybody. This is especially true considering that he made his NHL debut alongside some real heavy hitters. Within fifteen days of being called up from the AHL, he faced off against Matt Martin, Nicolas Deslauriers, Mathieu Olivier, Ryan Reaves, and Kurtis MacDermid… The Rangers’ big forward has a strong support system around him, so he’s using his offseason to work on his fighting style for the upcoming season.
In my opinion, he has plenty of support… When I say that Georges Laraque is aiding him, what I really mean is that he is teaching him ice fighting techniques. Among others, the former Habs boxer tweeted a photo of himself with Rempe: Last season, Matt Rempe learned a few things from Georges Laraque. On the Stanley25 podcast, which is hosted by Maxime Truman and Jean Trudel, Georges confessed as much. However, it differed in that it was carried out remotely. Just to clarify, Georges Laraque had communicated with the Rangers forward in order to delegate some responsibilities to him.
Here, Rempe got the opportunity to train on the ice with Georges Laraque, which was an entirely new experience. Actually, Georges Laraque is certain that Rempe will be “a problem” in the NHL in 24-25 after coaching him face-to-face: Just wait till next year when you face Rempe in the NHL again… Georges Laraque It’s unique, and young musicians would benefit greatly from Georges Laraque’s advice.
After all, he is widely considered to be among the greatest fighters of all time. He isn’t afraid to lend a hand to the younger boys, which is great because he wants them to be safe in battle. Priority one is the players’ well-being. The upcoming season will tell if Matt Rempe has improved as a boxer. For his own good, I hope he’s gotten better at defending himself… Simply put, he suffered serious facial injuries in his early NHL fights.
