The best field hockey league in the world was affected, like all sports leagues, by the pandemic derived from COVID-19 and made important and controversial decisions. The NHL decided not to lend its players to the Beijing Winter Olympic Games due to the contagions and the postponement of games during the current campaign, a situation which, although understandable due to the clash of calendars, complicated the political situation in the United States and China.
The Rangers have four Stanley Cup titles, but the last one they won was in the 1993-1994 season, so they want to keep dreaming of breaking the curse of professional sports in the Big Apple.
The Rangers finished the season in fourth place in the East with 52 wins and 30 victories and eliminated the Penguins in the first round of the playoffs.
