An article on Ramage.

“John’s a rock-solid kid and a heart-and-soul player,” Allain said. “Everyone on the team respects him. He’s been around this group, they know him and they trust him.”


“He’s so mentally strong,” added teammate Chris Kreider, the Boston College forward and New York Rangers first-rounder said. “The situation with his dad doesn’t come up at all. We don’t talk about it and I don’t think John wants to talk about it, either.


“The biggest thing about John is he leads by example.”
Nothing screams team like blocking shots and Ramage is always willing to put his frame at risk in front of the puck.


“He’s an expert shot blocker,” Kreider said. “Whenever the coaches show us clips on shot blocking, there’s John. He blocks shots with every part of his body. He does whatever it takes and he’s great at it.”
