In more ways than one, prospect Carey Terrance seems to be<\/a> on the winning side since arriving in New York.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Though it\u2019s one thing to be ripped away from your developmental path, the 20-year-old now has the opportunity to play closer to home for the Rangers as he was a part of the return from the Ducks in the June trade for Chris Kreider.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Akwesasne native, who was drafted by Anaheim in the second round (59th overall) in 2023, doesn\u2019t have family traveling as far to visit, and his two sisters go to school nearby, including one at Albany.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s surprising there\u2019s not too many Rangers fans up back home,\u201d Terrance said after the second day of the developmental camp for prospects at the MSG Training Center on Wednesday. \u201cIt\u2019s mostly Montreal and Boston, but the ones that are Rangers fans were texting me right away and were really excited.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The center also will be reunited with one of his best friends and teammate Malcolm Spence<\/a>, with whom he played the past three years with the Erie Otters.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Before the Rangers drafted Spence 43rd overall last week, Terrance was shaking in anticipation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI was actually sitting in my bed on the second day of the draft,\u201d he said. \u201cI put on the second round, and I see the Islanders have the pick before the Rangers and I\u2019m like, \u2018Ugh, they might draft him with [Matthew] Schaefer. Please don\u2019t.\u2019 And it didn\u2019t happen. <\/p>\n

\u201cSo, I was sitting there in my bed [saying], \u2018Come on. Come on. Come on.\u2019 And I was really excited for him when he got drafted. I sent a video to our group chat right away in Erie. I was really excited.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Though early in his career, Terrance didn\u2019t take any great offense in the trade across the country<\/a>. <\/p>\n

He is turning pro this year and in taking that next step, he is just trying to get as ingrained with the Rangers as possible, starting with the development camp.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHockey\u2019s a business,\u201d he said. \u201cEverything happens for a reason, that\u2019s kind of the way I took it. Anaheim drafted me and did really well with my development. I can\u2019t thank them enough.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

This past season in Erie, Terrance had 20 goals and 19 assists for 39 points across 45 games. <\/p>\n

He also won a gold medal at the 2025 IIHF World Junior Championship.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ahead of training camp, Terrance is focusing on putting on more weight and honing in on what he prides himself to be, a \u201cversatile\u201d and \u201cvocal\u201d player.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In more ways than one, prospect Carey Terrance seems to be on the winning side since arriving in…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":37329,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[42],"tags":[1302,293,13726,10440,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-37328","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-new-york-rangers","9":"tag-nhl","10":"tag-ny-sports-minute","11":"tag-prospects","12":"tag-sports","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-unitedstates","15":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37328","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37328"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37328\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37329"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37328"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37328"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37328"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
