Lester Patrick
Mgr & Coach Original Team Member & Rangers 1st Coach
Hockey Hall of Fame, 1947
The Lester Patrick Trophy, awarded for outstanding contributions to hockey in the United States, is named for him. He was also the namesake of the Patrick Division, one of the former divisions of the NHL teams.
Stanley Cup Champion (6): 1906, 1907 as a player; 1925, 1928, 1933, 1940 as an Owner/Manager/Coach.
Patrick invented 22 new rules that remain in the NHL rulebook to this day. He introduced the blue line, the forward pass, and the playoff system, a change adopted by other leagues and sports around the world. After a suggestion by his father Joe, he began using numbers on players\' sweaters and in programs to help fans identify the skaters. A new rule allowed the puck to be kicked everywhere but into the net, and allowed goaltenders to fall to the ice to make a save. He was responsible for crediting assists when a goal was scored, and invented the penalty shot.
It\'s no wonder he was later called \"the Brains of Modern Hockey.\"

DEALERS NOTE
We decided to list this Historic N.Y. Rangers signed letter document with a Buy it Now price to sell at $125,000. We know that most collectors would find this price out of reach, but not the N.Y. Rangers or the Madison Square Garden brass. We believe that this 5th season N.Y. Rangers team signed letter and sheet with 5 HOF members signatures is a shared history for the N.Y. Rangers and for the \"original six\" NHL teams. We also believe that, if a collector doesn\'t beat them out on owning this piece, the Rangers brass should consider purchasing this Mega Rare Letter for display at Madison Square Garden and for future display at the Hockey Hall Of Fame in Toronto Ontario, Canada
