Comment on Vancouver Rangers aim to get defensive in upcoming season

A Van Halen cover band will help the Vancouver Rangers ring in the 2016-17 hockey season on Friday at Mountain View Ice Arena. Just how much noise the junior hockey team can make during its second season in the Western States Hockey League is difficult to predict. But coach and general manager Dave Daniello said matching last season’s 30 wins is a reasonable target. The path to those wins will be different — at least that is Daniello’s plan. As an expansion team last season, the Rangers’ 278 goals scored were the fourth most in the 29-team league.
