The 1946–47 New York Rangers season was the 21st season for the team in the National Hockey League (NHL). The Rangers finished 5th in the league and did not qualify for the playoffs.

Regular Season[edit | edit source]

Showing off the new Rangers jerseys are Grant Warwick, Neil Colville, Edgar Laprade, Charlie Rayner, Frank Eddolls and Tony Leswick, 1946.

For this one season, the Rangers introduced a new uniform in which the jersey number was on both the front and back with "RANGERS" arched above the number on the jersey front.

During the February 1, 1947 Rangers-Canadiens game, Chuck Rayner skated three times into Montreal's zone in an attempt to score in the Rangers 2-1 loss.[1]

A donnybrook took place on March 16th, 1947 between the New York Rangers and Montreal Canadiens. Cal Gardner lifted Kenny Reardon's stick so that it clipped him in the mouth and a fight broke out between both teams and the fans.
