What happened on June 28 in the history of the New York Rangers
On this date in 2007, Mark Messier got the phone call that everyone knew was coming. He was told that he had been elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame. If you are curious as to what uniform he is wearing on his HOF plaque, unlike Major League Baseball, hockey players are not identified with any team by uniform.
On the HOF website, the first image is of Messier in an Oilers uniform and that make sense.
