The New York Rangers could be on the verge of becoming the NHL version of the Green Bay Packers, though in the largest market in North America.
According to the New York Times, New York State comptroller candidate Adem Bunkeddeko is interested in using the the state’s pension fund to purchase a stake in the Rangers and NBA’s New York Knicks as well as their parent company, Madison Square Garden.
The Rangers, of course, are run by James Dolan in his role as executive chairman and CEO of MSG Sports. He is the controlling owner of the Rangers, as well as the Knicks, MSG, Radio City Music Hall and other landmarks like the Las Vegas-based Sphere.
