New York Rangers Team Information

NHL New York Rangers Team Information

The New York Rangers are one of the original six NHL teams and were founded by Lester Patrick in 1926.

The move was meant to form a team that could share the brand new Madison Gardens with the New York Americans. From the very beginning Lester Patrick built a very successful team, comprised of many all-stars of the era. By the 1928 NHL season, the New York Rangers had already won their first of several Stanley Cup championships.
