"Vincent Iorio, the newest member of the New York Rangers, leaned heavily into his mindset. I think just staying in the present, staying focused, Iorio said after his first practice with the Rangers. There's a lot of ups and downs in hockey, and since I've been playing pro, I've gone through a lot of ups and downs. For me, just to continue to have that positive mindset and just be the happy, go-lucky kid that I am."
"Iorio prides himself on smiling and being happy at the rink every day not an easy task for a 23-year-old defenseman who's bounced between three organizations this season and appeared in just 30 NHL games over the past four years. There weren't a ton of opportunities for him with the San Jose Sharks, who placed Iorio on waivers on Jan. 30. New York claimed him a day later."
Vincent Iorio emphasizes staying in the present and maintaining a positive mindset after joining the New York Rangers. The 6-foot-4, 220-pound defenseman prides himself on smiling and being happy at the rink despite bouncing between three organizations and appearing in just 30 NHL games over four years. San Jose placed him on waivers on Jan. 30; New York claimed him a day later. Familiar teammates from his junior years have helped him settle in. Iorio describes himself as a solid, two-way defenseman who focuses on breaking pucks out, strong defensive play, joining the rush, playing simple, and building confidence while closing hard in the defensive zone.
