The New York Rangers: Reliving the excitement, drama and triumphs from one of the world's most historic hockey franchises. For more than three-quarters of a century, the New York Rangers have been delighting hockey fans-New Yorkers and suburbanites alike-with a classy brand of entertainment that has no equal. Commonly referred to as "The Blueshirts," the team's history includes four Stanley Cups, magic moments and scores of individual stars, including arguably the best to ever do it, Wayne Gretzky. All of the excitement and drama of these triumphs is captured in The New York Rangers. Author John Halligan, who also serves as a historian and photo archivist for the team and National Hockey League, salutes not only the Rangers' tradition of excellence but also the masterful talents of the photojournalists who have chronicled the team since its birth in 1926.
