The 2025 Shoulder Check Showcase roster is live, and features four active New York Rangers players.
According to the program's website, Shoulder Check is an #HT40 initiative inspiring young men and women to commit to supporting one another through small acts that have a big impact. It was formed in order to show individuals that ‘being there’ is as simple as a hand on a shoulder.
Some of their partners include but are not limited to the NHL, ESPN W and Madison Square Garden. This year's showcase (the third annual) will be held on July 24th at Terry Conners Rink in Stamford, Connecticut.
Goaltender Jonathan Quick will serve as a coach for "Team Quick" alongside Montreal Canadiens' Marty St. Louis. Matt Rempe and Brett Berard will be forwards on Quick's team, in addition to Adam Fox participating on the defensive side.
