Former NHL heavyweight Georges Laraque is training one of the new York Rangers forwards this summer.
Georges Laraque is one of the toughest players to lace up skates in the NHL. He collected over 1,100 penalty minutes during his decade-long career and established a reputation for being a true heavyweight champion of the hockey world. The New York Rangers saw that firsthand during his playing days, as Laraque often squared up against their resident tough man to no avail.
Rempe broke into the NHL in 2023 and quickly asserted himself as a player not to be messed with. He fought six times in just 17 regular season games, collecting 71 penalty minutes along the way. He brawled some insane veteran enforcers like Ryan Reaves, Nic Deslauriers, Matt Martin, and Kurtis MacDermid. He held his own against everyone he fought, establishing a well-earned reputation for being tough as nails.
This offseason, Rempe is working with Laraque to improve his hockey fighting technique. The two met in Edmonton and trained together for a week on the ice. The pair was photographed together and Laraque heaped praises on the youngster.
