The New York Rangers are one of the most storied and iconic franchises in the National Hockey League (NHL). Founded in 1926, they are an "Original Six" team embodying the pioneering spirit of the New York metropolis.
In the early years, the Rangers quickly found success, capturing their first three Stanley Cups in 1928, 1933 and 1940. Unforgettable legends include the Cook Brothers, Ching Johnson and Chuck Rayner.
After a decades-long drought, the fourth title followed in 1994. Led by captain Mark Messier, goaltender Mike Richter and defenseman Brian Leetch, the "Blueshirts" defeated the Vancouver Canucks, ending a 54-year championship drought.
Today's young, hungry core features talents like Artemi Panarin, Adam Fox and Igor Shesterkin. The passionate fans at the "World's Most Famous Arena" relentlessly spur on their Rangers - capturing that next Stanley Cup seems only a matter of time.
