The Early Years

The New York Rangers were founded in 1926 as part of the NHL's expansion into the United States. The team quickly became a force to be reckoned with, winning the Stanley Cup in just their third season.

Some of the early stars of the Rangers include Lester Patrick, Frank Boucher, and Bill Cook. Patrick was the team's first coach and general manager, and he helped to establish the Rangers' winning tradition. Boucher was a star defenseman who captained the Rangers to their first Stanley Cup victory. Cook was a high-scoring forward who led the NHL in scoring in 1933-34.

The Original Six Era

The Rangers were one of the six original teams in the NHL, and they played in the Original Six era from 1942 to 1967. During this time, the Rangers won four Stanley Cups, including three in a row from 1940 to 1942.

Some of the most famous Rangers players from the Original Six era include Andy Bathgate, Vic Hadfield, and Jean Ratelle. Bathgate was a high-scoring forward who led the NHL in scoring in 1958-59. Hadfield was a rugged defenseman who was known for his physical play. Ratelle was a skilled centerman who was a key member of the Rangers' Stanley Cup-winning teams in the 1970s.

The Expansion Era

However, the Rangers eventually rebounded in the 1990s, and they won the Stanley Cup in 1994. Some of the stars of the Rangers' 1994 Stanley Cup team include Mark Messier, Wayne Gretzky, and Brian Leetch.
