In partnership with BluePath, the Rangers will train their newest addition, Ranger, this season to become a professional service dog for a child with autism.

Ranger even has his own Twitter and Instagram accounts, and the team has already provided an adorable bio for their newest member.

Some barkground on me:
I’m a Lab.
Born on 1/31/18.
My first collar was blue and now I get to be a Blueshirt!
My pre-game treat is peanut butter!
I’m learning to handle pucks!
I love to take the subway to MSG!#NYRPupOnAPath pic.twitter.com/wn3ViGtqQY
