Ice Ice Baby: NY Rangers Gear Up For New Season

Baseball season is coming to a close and football season just got underway. But according to our Lisa Mateo, neither of those sports are as "cool" as hockey.
Lisa went to Madison Square Garden, where the staff is gearing up and icing up for the new hockey season. She spoke to Jack Durkin, of the Rangers ice crew, who explained to us what sort of preparations are needed.
Lisa also got a chance to speak to New York Ranger legend Rod Gilbert, who gave her a preview of the new season. Gilbert is also involved with Madison Square Garden's "Garden of Dreams Foundation," which makes dreams come true for kids in crisis. For more information, log onto gardenofdreamsfoundation.org.
The New York Rangers home opener is on Saturday, October 3. Lisa is giving one lucky viewer the chance to win two free tickets to the game. All you have to do to win is be the 11th caller to (866) 414-2911. Good luck!
