 PROFILE
The team first dubbed "Tex's Rangers" is in fact a long way from the Lone Star State. Madison Square Garden president "Tex" Rickard was granted a hockey franchise for his arena in 1926, and sportswriters soon called the team "Tex's Rangers." The team won its first Stanley Cup in its second season and later claimed titles in 1933 and 1940. After a 54-year drought the team won a fourth Cup in 1994 under the leadership of all-star center Mark Messier, who returned to the club in 2000. Despite having one of the NHL's highest payrolls, the team has failed to reach the playoffs four years in a row. Cable TV giant Cablevision Systems owns 60% of the team; Fox Entertainment owns the rest.
