#1
Eddie Giacomin
Position: Goaltender
Born: 6/16/1939
Birthplace: Sudbury, Ontario - Canada
Number Retired: 3/15/1989
Only the second Ranger to
have his number retired, Giacomin was part of one of the best teams in
Ranger history. Eddie's career with the Blueshirts came to a
disappointing end when he was claimed by Detroit off waivers. Three
days later Giacomin returned to MSG with the Wings and was cheered on as
he lead his new team to victory.

Brian Leetch
Position:
Defense
Born: 3/3/1968
Birthplace: Corpus Christi, Texas - USA
Number Retired: 1/24/2008
"Forever A Ranger" and "The Greatest Ranger" ever. The former was the
theme for Leetch's retirement night, the latter was the common theme both in
the papers and from his team mates. Leetch's career spanned 17 seasons
with the Rangers and he finished second in Games Played as a Rangers, and
Points, and he finished his career the all time leader in assists. |

Rod Gilbert
Position: Right
Wing
Born: 7/1/1941
Birthplace: Montreal, Quebec - Canada
Number Retired: 10/14/1979The first Ranger to have
his number retired, Gilbert bled red white and blue. The Hall of
Famer spent an impressive 18 seasons on Broadway before age finally got
the better of him. The right-hand man on one of the best Ranger
lines ever, Gilbert holds team records for Goals and Points and is second
only to Brian Leetch in Assists.

Mark Messier
Position: Center
Born: 1/18/1961
Birthplace: Edmonton, Alberta - Canada
Number Retired: 1/12/2006By the time that Mark Messier came to the New York Rangers, he was
already a well accomplished player. Messier had raised the cup with Edmonton on five separate occasions, including once without friend and
fellow team mate Wayne Gretzky, who had been traded away. Messier came to New York with both questions and hope, what he brought was the
leadership and personality the Rangers had desired for so long. By the time his tenure was over, Messier would have dispelled the demons and
delivered a Stanley Cup to the Rangers for the first time in 54 years.
Given many nicknames during his tenure with New York, Messier is probably best known as simply The Captain. |

#35
Mike Richter
Position: Goalie
Born: 9/22/1986
Birthplace: Abington, Pennsylvania - USA
Number Retired: 2/4/2004A
lifelong Ranger, Richter will be best remembered as the goaltender on the
Rangers 1993-94 Stanley Cup team. The franchise leader in numerous
stats, Richter is the only Ranger netminder to record 300 or more wins for
the team.
His career cut short by injury, Richter remains to this day one of the
most popular players to wear the Rangers jersey.
