New York Rangers History
The Rangers, one of the Original Six NHL teams, were founded in 1926 by Tex Rickard. According to legend, the New York media nicknamed the team “Tex's Rangers,” a play on the famed law enforcers Texas Rangers.
The team has won four Stanley Cup Championships, the first of which came in only their second season (1928) and the most recent in 1994, beating Vancouver in Game 7 to break a 54-year drought and send Cup-starved fans into a frenzy. The Rangers have also taken home four Presidents’ Trophies and won eight divisional championships—most recently winning both for the 2023-2024 season.
The Rangers' 2017-2018 campaign broke a string of seven consecutive seasons in which the team reached the Playoffs—including the 2013-2014 campaign, which ended in a five-game series loss to the Los Angeles Kings in the Stanley Cup Final.
Among the Hall of Famers to don the Rangers sweater are Andy Bathgate, Eric Lindros, Phil Esposito, and Wayne Gretzky. Twelve players have had their number retired by the team: Bathgate, Ed Giacomin, Rod Gilbert, Adam Graves, Harry Howell, Brian Leetch, Mark Messier, Jean Ratelle, Mike Richter, Vic Hadfield, Henrik Lundqvist and Wayne Gretzky. Herb Brooks (1937-2003), who coached the Rangers from 1981-1985, also coached the U.S. Olympic hockey team to its "Miracle on Ice" victory over the Soviet Union and on to a gold medal in the 1980 Winter Olympic Games in Lake Placid, N.Y.

It looked like both teams need two more hours to sleep. But full MSG and the atmosphere was great!
great seats, easy parking, easy get away ..this was the same day as the nyc marathon,jets game we thought it would be horrible driving in from very far upstate but it was easy!!!!
Going to a hockey game at Madison Square Garden can't be beaten. The chill in the air, the physical nature of the play, and the devotion of the fans to the Rangers are second to none. However, the vendors hawking food get in the way by constantly walking through the aisles, holding their wears upon their heads. I can't tell you how annoying it is to have to strain to the left or right to see around a vendor. Despite the vendors, go see the Rangers at MSG. The Garden is the best arena in the world, and I've been to dozens.
very good show, the staduim is fantastic, most seats have a very good view. only one thing disappointed me: the atmosphere is low, the fan doesn t make a lot of noise, doesn t sing much.....
We took our kids to NYC from Indianapolis for Fall Break to continue our quest to see every NHL Team play in as many venues as we can find. I know there are more hockey nostalgic rinks in Canada, and they are on our list, but Madison Square Garden was VERY special. It helped that it was an Original 6 match-up, and there were many celebrities there, but if you want a real arena experience with knowledgeable hockey fans, MSG is hard to beat. We loved it and the Rangers won in a 1-0 shutout. Lundquist threw his stick into the crowd after being named the first star! Great venue. Great fans. Wonderful to be part of the millions who have seen so much in this historic place.
This was a world class hockey opportunity. Henke the goalkeeper was outrageous! We really enjoyed the game and the arena, me and my son.
Excellent Ice Hockey match at MSG, great seats, great service, we'll do this again when we are next in NYC
A great atmosphere and a great opportunity to visit the "Garden". Picking up the tickets at the Will Call was quick and easy, and on top of it all a good game of hockey. Any visit to NY should include an event at Madison Square Garden.
Visiting the a NHL-hockey game with my son (wife and daughter went to a broadway musical) during our New York-holiday was exactly what i expected and hoped for. A great experience to be in the MSG and although we did not have expensive seats, the view was perfect, and of course the american way of viewing a sports event ( a lot of intermissions, a lot of eating and drinking) was very interesting. We can take an example to the way NJ-supporters where present in the NY-MSG. In Europe i would not be possible to mingle the two supporter-groups in the arena It would defenitely lead to fighting (althoufgh there was a minor fight at the end). Next time i'll be in NY i'll visit a sports event at the MSG again.
Limited view at MSG used to mean you might not be able to see the play in the near corner. Now Jimmy Dolan has a whole new meaning ....you can only see one net. And for the pleasure we'll charge you $60!!!
Couldn't be much better than to go to Garden and see the Devils win.
it was really fun! i love hockey! i got to see fights and hits and great goals! i would go back... which the price was lower but it was fun over all...
great game nail biter three to two game rangers lost on weak goal
Tickets were there as promised and all went very well. Madison Square garden is AWESOME.and I just loved the whole experience....
This was actually a birthday gift for my son and although the Rangers lost he still had a great time.
We came from England and paid $250 for 2 tix. It wasnt great and the atmosphere quite poor. In England we have soccer where a match like that would be very noisy and partizan and loud, but people seemed to leave and give up when the team were struggling. If I wanted to see that sort of thing I would go to baseball! Merchandising poor quality too, and I would have spent money on it if it had been even OK quality, but it was poor quality stuff that would not last. All in all, not great.
Great place for Hockey and very good service in the club seats.
MSG provides an excellent view no matter where in you sit in the stadium. The intervals inbetween periods show exactly how fans should be treated by the teams paying $80-200 to go and see their team. The food is as good as you can expect for an event like this, hot dogs, nachos, pop corn with the opportunity to buy more from the vendors walking up and around the stadium during the game. One thing i recommend for anyone looking to buy a Jersey. Try the online store or Reebok store on 6th to get a cheaper one than you would get in the stadium.
MSG is easy to access in the middle of Manathan et beside Penn station. The view to the ice is good even in the upper stands. Great atmosphere during the game. Unfortunatly, the knacks and drinks are too expansive.
The Rangers won, althought they were outhustled and seemed lethargic. What could be bad?
