The New York Rangers have officially signed Matt Rempe to a contract extension, confirming the speculation that had been swirling in recent days. The announcement comes after Rempe received enthusiastic stick taps, cheers, and head pats from his teammates during morning skate on March 18, hinting at the big news.
The 6-foot-9, 255-pound forward has established himself as a physical presence on the ice, known for his tough style of play and ability to energize the team. This season, he has recorded two goals and three assists, totaling five points with a +5 rating.

Rempe made history in 2024 as the first player to debut in an NHL outdoor game, taking the ice during the Rangers’ Stadium Series matchup against the New York Islanders. The game held special significance, as it fell on the anniversary of his father’s passing.
A product of the WHL’s Seattle Thunderbirds, Rempe has worked tirelessly to develop his game. Often the last player off the ice at practice, he has focused on improving his offensive skills and overall impact. His hard work has now paid off with this well-earned contract extension.
With the deal finalized, the Rangers are showing confidence in Rempe’s potential and continued growth. Fans can look forward to seeing him remain a key part of the Blueshirts’ future.
