The story of the 1926–27 New York Rangers season is one of the most astonishing and immediate debuts in professional sports history. When Madison Square Garden President George Lewis “Tex” Rickard realized that the newly formed New York Americans were drawing massive crowds, he decided that the venue needed its own house-operated team. He tasked Conn Smythe with assembling a competitive roster.
Smythe looked to the WCHL in the Pacific Northwest which had folded in 1925. There he scouted and signed legendary talents like and brother – better known as “Bun”. He also added center , and fierce defenseman – “Ching” Johnson. The quartet would lay the foundation for the early success of the Rangers.
