Adam Graves’s demeanor on the ice was second to done when he played for the New York Rangers.
A hard-working forward who defended his teammates against the biggest and nastiest players he opposed in the National Hockey League, Graves was a fan favorite blue-collar player, winning the Stanley Cup in 1994.
When he retired from the NHL in following the 2002-03 season, then a member of the San Jose Sharks, Graves knew he wanted to stay involved in hockey in some capacity. Lucky for the fans in New York, he chose to come back to the city he loved.
