• 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.

• 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.

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.
