Early Years
The team was originally founded on June 8, 1972 in Kansas City, Missouri as the Kansas City Scouts. They joined the NHL for the 1974-1975 regular season. The Scouts only played for two seasons in that location after a disappointing 27-110 overall record plus a large amount of debt forced the team to relocate.Colorado Years
The team moved to Colorado before the 1976-1977 season, becoming the Colorado Rockies, and making the playoffs for their first time in 1978. The following season they hired the colorful Don Cherry as their head coach. The team however continued to have financial issues until they were purchased by John McMullen in 1982.To the Meadowlands
McMullen moved the team for the 1982-1983 season to New Jersey, where they played at the Meadowlands Sports Complex.Champions At Last
Following the shortened 1994-1995 season, the Devils finished second in their division going into the playoffs. After defeating the Boston Bruins, Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers, they reached the Stanley Cup finals for the first time in their history. They swept the Detroit Red Wings to win the Stanley Cup in four games.Champions, Again
The Devils returned to the Stanley Cup finals in both 2000 and 2003 and were victorious again, defeating the Dallas Stars and Mighty Ducks respectively.-
