On December 2, Vic Hadfield became the ninth New York Ranger to have his jersey immortalized in the rafters of Madison Square Garden. Interestingly enough, Hadfield was the second Ranger to have his jersey number retired after it was already hanging from the ceiling. But don’t let that fool you into thinking that Hadfield’s place in Rangers’ history is in any way insignificant. He was, without a doubt, one of the greatest goal scorers to ever play for the Broadway Blueshirts.
Hadfield scored 262 goals in his 13 years as a Ranger, which places him fourth all-time in franchise goals.
