The Centennial Chronicle

The New York Rangers present the Centennial Chronicle. As an ode to the era of 1926-1942 the Rangers have brought back physical black and white newspapers that were distributed the morning of October 20 as a lead in to the first Centennial Night, Birth of The Franchise. The paper highlights players and archival photography from the time period.
