Liam made a new friend within two minutes of getting out of the car. We hadn't even gotten in the front door to the Rangers Training Center.
When we entered the locker room it was fun to see that they had taken out the players name-plates and put on the names of the boys participating in the clinic. The boys were beside themselves.
The majority of the boys had on Ranger jerseys of course. Liam was one of the first ready to get on the ice.

Liam practicing what Adam Graves taught him.
Liam with Adam Graves. He signed Liams jersey. Liam said he never wants to wash his jersey again. We let him know that it was signed with a Sharpy, so he is okay.
When we got back to the locker room we found a package with all kinds of goodies, including photos of his favorite players, stickers, a Ranger backpack, a hockey puck, a "Go Rangers" towel to dry his blades, and a certificate of achievement.
Immediately upon arriving home, Liam decorated his door with his favs and decided that his figure of Jagr (not a Ranger gift, FYI) would now guard his door. If Jagr is out, do not enter. If he is not, you may enter.
Liam was a Ranger fan before the clinic, but now that he has become a Junior Ranger All Star and "a part of the Ranger Family," he is more excited about his team than ever. He informed me that he wants to wear his ranger cloths (of which he is not lacking) every day so that everyone knows that he is a Junior Ranger.
