They are members of the Metropolitan Division of the Eastern Conference of the National Hockey League (NHL). The team plays its home games at Madison Square Garden, located in the borough of Manhattan . The Rangers are one of three NHL franchises in the New York metropolitan area, along with the New Jersey Devils and New York Islanders . The club is also one of the oldest teams in the NHL, having joined in 1926 as an expansion franchise . They are part of the group of teams referred to as the Original Six, along with the Boston Bruins, Chicago Blackhawks, Detroit Red Wings, Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Maple Leafs . The Rangers were the first NHL franchise in the United States to win the Stanley Cup, which they have done four times, most recently in 1993--94 . </P> <P> George Lewis "Tex" Rickard, president of Madison Square Garden, was awarded an NHL franchise for the 1926--27 season to compete with the now - defunct New York Americans, who had begun play at the Garden the previous season . The Americans (also known as the "Amerks") proved to be an even greater success than expected during their inaugural season, leading Rickard to pursue a second team for the Garden despite promising the Amerks that they would be the only hockey team to play there . The new team was quickly nicknamed "Tex's Rangers". </P>
