Related Topics: New York Rangers, Tex Rickard

The New York Rangers were founded in 1905 by Stuffy McTiggs, a steel worker with $17 and a big dream. McTiggs enrolled the team in a local mens Senior B league from 1905 to 1922. The Rangers won the New York Senior B championship 5 times during this span.

In 1923, the Rangers changed their logo from a intergalactic robot with broom for a hand to a picture of an Italian-American man named Dino eating spaghetti with a wooden spoon. The logo was symbolic of the Rangers transition from the New York Senior B League to the newly founded New York-New Jersey Mafia Hockey League.
