The team was first created in 1925 due to an extension provided for the New York area. The “Tex’s Rangers” as the group was called by the press had an early success not many expected and this was proven as just in their second season the team won their first Stanley Cup trophy.
Nevertheless; the Rangers also achieved several other division and conference titles as well as three other Ice Hockey Cups.
More recently, after the NHL lockout the team has been able to qualify for the regular season playoffs; three years in a row in the third place of the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference. This recent 2007-08 campaign the Rangers managed to reach the semifinals but lost to the Penguins 1-4.
Some of the Rangers Hall of Famers we can mention are: Jari Kurri, Edgar Laprade, Brad Park, Earl Siebert, Clint Smith, Tim Horton, Marcel Dionne, and Andy Bathgate. |
The Rangers’ actual Captain is the Czech right wing Jaromir Jagr who has been with the team since the 2004 season; he is the holder of several records including; regular season most points, most goals and most assists by a right wing player.
