Many fans love him because he’s not afraid to fight, and having seen him throw down the gloves against the NHL’s best pugilists helps increase his popularity with fans.
It’s crazy, too, because he’s only played 17 games in the National League…
In fact, I’ll repeat the end of my last sentence.
Rempe took the opportunity to give souvenirs to three fans in question: he signed the neck of a girl, he signed the forehead of another young fan… And he put his signature on the wrist of a fan wearing an Anaheim Ducks jersey.
I wasn’t denying he’s popular:

Matt Rempe’s popularity will only increase over the next few years if he’s able to carve out a regular position in the National League.
The forward wasn’t used in every game by his team in the recent playoffs, and that’s to be expected, as he still has some fine-tuning to do on the ice.
But at 22, he’s already done some great things, and the best should be yet to come for him if he progresses in the right way.
It remains to be seen whether Georges Laraque’s lessons will help him increase his popularity with fans… :
