Matt Rempe attended Penticton Secondary while playing at Okanagan Hockey Academy
Matt Rempe, the 21-year-old rookie forward for the NHL’s Rangers, has been subject to extensive coverage in the United States’ largest media market for the last three months.
Originally from Calgary, Alta., Rempe was drafted by the Rangers in the sixth round of the 2020 NHL Draft. But this time, he also added a goal — a game-winning marker in the final frame — en route to being named first star. His popularity — or lack thereof in nearby northeast cities not named New York — only increased after he took centre stage in an early April line brawl against the New Jersey Devils and established himself as the NHL’s marquee “tough guy.”
“I don’t wanna let down,” the forward told reporters on May 25, after a loud, Rempe-loving MSG crowd watched the Rangers top the Florida Panthers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals. “I love them so much. No matter what. I want to go out there, make them proud and do something every shift.” “He already had good size, and there was some obvious skill set there…but by no means was he a physical force. While he was with us, we were working more on his physical skillset and game understanding than anything else.”The OHA vice president praised Penticton Secondary for hosting not only Rempe but all the travelling athletes who call the South Okanagan their temporary home while playing at the academy.
