The New York Rangers are a storied franchise that dates back to 1926-27, and over the years there have been many talented players who have made their debut with the organization but few have the success that 1980 Olympian Mark Pavelich had.

The gold medal winning center made a name for himself originally at the University of Minnesota-Duluth where he amassed 142 points in 110 games.
