New York Rangers 1994 Stanley Cup Championship team
3 former Ranger greats reunited at Empire City Casino, Yonkers, N.Y.
On Saturday, January 12, 2019, three members of the New York Rangers 1994 Stanley Cup Championship team, reunited at Empire City Casino, 810 Yonkers Ave., Yonkers, N.Y. Rangers Adam Graves, Stephane Matteau and Mike Hartman signed autographs, interacted with fans and watched their former team take on the Islanders.
This was the first time all three players were at the same event in a quarter century. The closest to a reunion the former teammates experienced was for Mark Messier's retirement ceremony on Jan 12 2006. Stephane Matteau remarked, "A lot of us was there when the Rangers retired Mark Messier's jersey and a few of us, former teammates, were together when Adam Graves jersey was retired on Feb. 3, 2009."
Adam Graves commented, "The greatest gift for us was the people of this franchise. This is a celebration of the Championship, the friendships we made and a celebration of this great city (New York)."
