NY Rangers using device from McCudden

From NY Sports Day. McCudden is a skating and skills coach who works with the Thrashers and their system.

NEW YORK – It’s called the rebound board and it’s nothing more than two 2x4s put together at a 90 degree angle.

Yet, Chris Drury swears by this low tech device and the Blueshirts have used it in practice almost every day since the Ranger captain brought it with him from Buffalo after he signed with New York before last season.

“I got it from a guy in Chicago,” Drury said, who started using it when he played in the World Championships. “I got it from a coach, Kenny McCudden. It was the first time I saw it and stole it from him. It’s great with passes and you can practice by yourself if you want.”
