New York Rangers

The New York Rangers are one of hockey's Original Six franchises, playing in the iconic Madison Square Garden, "The World's Most Famous Arena." Draped in blue, white, and red, the Rangers carry over a century of history in America's largest media market, backed by one of the most demanding and devoted fan bases in sports. From "1940" chants tied to their championship drought to the emotional release of 1994, Rangers hockey is steeped in New York City drama and passion.

Founded in 1926, the Rangers won early Stanley Cups in 1928, 1933, and 1940, then endured a 54-year championship drought that became a defining storyline in franchise history. That drought ended in dramatic fashion in 1994, when Mark Messier guaranteed a Game 6 win and delivered, leading New York to its first title in over half a century. The Rangers have remained a marquee franchise ever since, consistently drawing star talent and deep playoff runs.
