Early Years

Established as an expansion franchise in 1926, the team was initially awarded to the Madison Square Garden’s president, George Lewis Rickard. George had planned to establish a team that would compete with the popular ice hockey club, the New York Americans, at the Madison Square Garden. After his first attempt failed, George pursued a second team naming it the Tex’s Rangers. Tex’s Rangers managed to surprise the fans by winning the ‘American Division Title’ during its inaugural season. Even though the newly established team lost in the playoffs, the players became minor celebrities amidst the New York City’s roaring 20s.
